The 2012 Year of Languages

This programme of activities aims to inform the Liège public of the texture and contours of the different activities related to languages and cultures they might wish to participate in. As it is constantly being updated we thus ask you to consult it regularly.

Each activity is open and available on the basis of three criteria: the language, the category of event and the public it is aimed at. Each person can thus access straightaway the events which interest them.

The programme presents a large number of events concerning at least 15 languages (French, Dutch, German, English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Polish, Modern Greek, Arab, Turkish and sign language, etc.).

It is divided into 8 activity categories: (1) Linguistics and Philology (2) Didactics (teaching and learning) (3) Specialised Language of Communication (sciences and professions) (4) Translation (5) Literature (6) Culture, the arts and events (7) Conviviality (8) Miscellaneous.

These categories target 6 types of public: (a) specialists (b) students and an informed public (c) the general public (d) children and young adolescents (e) by registration only and (f) not open, for information only.

If you are organising an event which could feature on the 2012 Year of Languages programme, we invite you to register it using the form at the following address www.ulg.ac.be/annee-des-langues/formulaire, as we very much hope to be able to count on the participation of all the potential actors in this major Liège project to raise awareness of foreign languages and cultures.
