A collaborative project for the digital teaching of lesser-used languages

The LULaC project, coordinated by Inalco in partnership with the universities of Cologne, Florence and Kyiv, aims to develop a digital platform dedicated to the learning of lesser-used languages.

By October 2027, teachers will design teaching resources based on the CEFR and two introductory online courses (MOOCs) in Turkish and Ukrainian. This content will be distributed on the digital learning platform of the European alliance EUniWell, of which the four LULaC partner universities are members.

Through these activities, LULaC is helping to promote plurilingualism and the digitization of higher education in Europe.
