A European learning network for professionals supporting work‐related second language development


Value of a network

Europe offers a rich diversity of work-related language learning for adult migrants and ethnic minorities. The Language for Work (LfW) Network enables professionals working in this field to benefit from that diversity.

The LfW Network is a not‐for‐profit membership organisation that works on a voluntary basis to

  • Raise awareness and promote work‐related language learning for adult migrants and ethnic minorities at national and European levels.
  • Enable all working in this field to share expertise and resources
  • Provide networking and professional development opportunities
  • Support the development of theoretical / conceptual models, practice models, quality frameworks
