Heinemann, Alisha M. B. – Studies in the Education of Adults, 2017
Newcomers to Austria and Germany are obliged to learn German, as both of the nation states define themselves as monolingual -- although millions of citizens speak more than one language. The demand to learn the national language is promoted by the shaky promise that it is an entrance ticket to the labour market and also a sine qua non to be…

Gruber, Alice; Tonkyn, Alan – Language Learning Journal, 2017
It is widely assumed that the British are poorer modern foreign language (MFL) learners than their fellow Europeans.

Breidbach, Stephan, Ed.; Viebrock, Britta, Ed. – Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2013
Content and Language Integrated Learning has received a strong tailwind in European educational and language policies. It is on the verge of becoming a mainstream phenomenon.

Witte, Arnd, Ed.; Harden, Theo, Ed. – Peter Lang Oxford, 2011
This book explores the idea of "intercultural competence", which, despite its current popularity across various discourses, has remained a vague and oscillating concept.
