LINGUA: language teaching and learning. The Lingua Action is designed to: encourage and support linguistic diversity throughout the Union; contribute to an improvement in the quality of language teaching and learning; promote access to lifelong language learning opportunities, appropriate to each individual’s needs.
The action is divided into two parts, corresponding to different sub-objectives:
LINGUA 1 intends to raise citizens’ awareness of the Union’s multilingual wealth, encourage people to learn languages throughout their lifetime, and improve access to foreign language learning resources across Europe; to develop and disseminate innovative techniques and good practices in language teaching.
LINGUA 2 aims to ensure that a sufficiently wide range of language learning tools is available to language learners.
