A roadmap for schools to support the language(s) of schooling

The ROADMAP enables schools to set up a tailor-made whole-school strategy to support the development of students’ competences in the language(s) of schooling. The web-based tools help schools to develop the linguistic and critical thinking skills ALL students need in ALL subjects for learning and school success.
Available in English, French, German, Finnish and Swedish.
To the ROADMAP self-assessment tool

Promising practices

The Promising practices are gathered from all over Europe and organised in a searchable database. In response to the individual results of the school, the ROADMAP offers a range of promising practices which can be adapted to specific contexts. The purpose of the promising practices database is to both inspire and help the school plan a whole-school strategy according to the needs identified in the context of the self-assessment process.
