Language Rich Europe

Project managed by the British Council, co-financed by the European Commission, (EU Nr. 511780-LLP-1-2010-1-UK-KA2-KA2NW), 2010 – 2013

Participation: Raphael Berthele, Bernhard Lindt-Bangerter

This pan-European project was initiated in 2010 by the British Council and aims at developing an index in order to compare the language environment in 20 European countries. The index will capture the following aspects: (foreign) language teaching, languages in the workplace, in the media and in public spaces as well as language policy. Several language types will be analysed: official state language(s), foreign languages, regional minority languages and immigrant minority languages. The Institute of multilingualism is in charge of gathering the data for Switzerland.
