Übersetzung für "Foreign language competence " (Englisch → Deutsch) :

The assessment provides comparable data on the level of foreign language competences of pupils aged 14-15.

Data from the European survey will provide information on foreign language competence among young people (14-16 years old) in the Union, on where good practice and performance can be found, and in due time on progress of improving foreign language learning.

Multiply opportunities of lifelong learning, for example by means of distance-learning especially through the use of ICT. Stimulate lifelong learning demand through measures to reconcile work and family life. Identify cost sharing models of continuing training (employers, employees and public service). Develop national strategies, aiming inter alia at filling the current gap in terms of access to lifelong learning opportunities between large and small companies, and between high and low skilled people. Adopt the future integrated action programme in the field of lifelong learning. Establish a European area of Education and Training: Strengthen the open method of coordination, for example by: working in "peer learning" clusters, allowing Mem ...[+++]ber States to focus on their priority areas; improving the scope, precision and reliability of education and training statistics; identifying indicators in new fields and making them operational, as envisaged in the Joint Interim Report, including the foreign language competence indicator requested by the Barcelona European Council, in March 2002. Adopt common reference points at European level in fields such as key competences and the training of teachers and trainers. Strengthen the role of higher education institutions in the Lisbon Strategy and improve the quality of higher education in order to enhance its international attractiveness and the mobility of the students and staff. Enhance the synergy and the complementarity between Higher Education and Research to stimulate innovation and employment through the mobility of young researchers and the networking of centres of excellence. Develop by the end of 2006 a European Qualifications Framework as a common reference covering both VET and general education (secondary and higher), based on competences and learning outcomes.

The Commission proposes that in the first instance, and for practical reasons, foreign language competence should be tested in the five languages most frequently taught in the Union as a whole (English, French, German, Spanish and Italian).

The entry of new Member States and the increase in mobility within the single market makes it all the more necessary to enhance foreign-language competence in the Community.
