CEBS Congress SprachGastein:
VIT 2009 (Variety – Individualisation – Transparency) in Modern Language Education
22 – 24 October 2009, Bad Hofgastein, Austria.
Language education is undergoing a period of massive change. With active democratic citizenship and employability being meta-objectives of all modern education, the very concept of “competence”, including that of “language competence”, needs to be reconsidered. The relevance of “soft skills” as complimentary (or core?) elements of language competence, the value of interdisciplinary concepts and approaches, the challenge of multilingual and multicultural (living and working) environments – these are just some of the aspects that are essential to the design and delivery of state-of-the-art language education.
