What are the opportunities the University creates for our students and staff with regards to multilingualism \u2013 and their future careers?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Multilingualism\u00a0is one of the\u00a0unique\u00a0strengths of this\u00a0University\u00a0and it is also one of our challenges.\u00a0Good language skills are a key element in the portfolio of anyone entering the job market in Luxembourg. They are also valuable for developing international connections in many sectors of work, life and study.\u00a0We are therefore treating multilingualism as a fact of life, but also as an important life-skill, one that should be supported and developed.\u00a0We\u00a0will\u00a0strengthen\u00a0the development\u00a0of language skills among students as well as among staff. These are important factors for successful learning, as most of our programmes (Bachelor and Master) are bilingual, and fluency in more than one of the University\u2019s teaching languages also enables\u00a0the instructor to\u00a0communicate their passion for their subject.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"what-measures-has-the-university-put-in-place-to-foster-multilingualism\"\n    >\nWhat measures has the University put in place to foster multilingualism?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>We will develop further the support provided for staff and students to improve the language skills that they already have, or that they wish to develop,\u00a0both for everyday and academic purposes.\u00a0This\u00a0involves developing\u00a0more\u00a0resources as well as more incentives;\u00a0we already offer ECTS for transversal skills, including language learning. We will ensure that more incentives are in place, to recognise the effort that people put into this learning activity. We are also currently reviewing the languages that we should use in\u00a0our different types of communication and official documents across the University.\u00a0It is also important to encourage the use of inclusive language, in order to ensure that nobody is left out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"the-university-of-luxembourg-has-recently-defined-its-new-multilingualism-policy-how-will-implementing-this-policy-be-felt-in-the-life-at-the-university-among-our-students-a\"\n    >\nThe University of Luxembourg has recently\u00a0defined\u00a0its new Multilingualism policy, how will implementing this\u00a0policy be felt in the life at the University,\u00a0among\u00a0our students and staff?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>We aim for the University\u2019s internal life to reflect the linguistic and cultural diversity of Luxembourg.\u00a0We can\u00a0all learn\u00a0several languages\u00a0every day on campus, and not only in the classroom or the laboratory. We learn through our interactions\u00a0with posters, with conferences\u00a0and with cultural\u00a0events, as well as in\u00a0informal exchanges in the Student Lounge, restaurants, parties, once they become accessible again, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwen.uni.lu\/luxembourg_learning_centre\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Luxembourg Learning Centre<\/a>.\u00a0Furthermore, we aim to connect\u00a0languages with\u00a0the\u00a0broader\u00a0experience\u00a0of a\u00a0Uni.lu\u00a0student.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>All our Bachelor students are obliged to spend at least one semester in a University abroad, either in the Erasmus+ programme or outside Europe.
