[Edling] VL: Language training in higher education / Expansion of data collection

[Hynninen, Niina M via Edling]

Dear colleagues,

upon request, I'm forwarding the following message for your information:


Dear colleagues,



please help us expand our data collection!



In our research project ”Closing and opening doors: Universities restructuring their language training programs”, we investigate recent or planned closures of university language training programs and severe cuts of their resources at European universities. We are also interested in the opposite process: new openings, the start of new language training programs and allocation of additional resources for language training. (For a project description see https://doors.ugent.be/en.)



The survey is still open, and we hope to receive more responses. We are especially keen to hear from colleagues at universities in countries that are not yet represented in our data, as we would like to gain a better understanding of developments in higher education across different regions.



You can find the survey here: https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/132773/lomake.html



These maps show you the countries and universities for which we already have data:

At the same time, we warmly welcome all additional contributions to our data collection, as they help us make our mapping as comprehensive and balanced as possible.



We hope to receive plenty of new responses! The survey will remain open until September 30, 2026.



Thank you very much for your cooperation! Please feel free to forward this e-mail to your colleagues in different countries/at different universities.



With kind regards,

Leena Kolehmainen (Professor of German, University of Helsinki), Philipp Krämer (Professor of French linguistics, Vrije Universiteit Brussel) & Ulrike Vogl (Professor of Dutch, Ghent University)
