Language teachers should spend time abroad: Minister 

 

Spending time in a foreign country is the best way for language teachers to properly learn languages, says education minister

 

Education Minister Bertel Haarder wants foreign language teachers to go abroad for at least half a year to better learn the languages in which they teach. 

 

Haarder pointed out that fewer than four percent of language teachers in both Denmark and Sweden have spent a semester or more abroad.
