Its main objective is to enhance the exchange of research and new approaches in language education. The forum is open to interested people from outside the university such as school teachers and teachers from community schools.

The forum is jointly coordinated by:

• Dr Gabriele Schmidt, School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics, CASS
