Expolingua Berlin 2008 under Patronage of Ján Figel’

Berlin. Ján Figel’, member of the European Commission responsible for Education, Training, Culture and Youth, has kindly agreed to act as a patron of this year’s Expolingua Berlin. Expolingua Berlin is Germany’s only international fair for languages and cultures and takes place from November 14th – 16th at the capital city’s Russian House of Science and Culture.

More than 150 exhibitors from 30 countries will shed light on the very newest programmes, products and trends related to language learning and teaching. In addition to language schools from Germany and abroad, language-travel agents, exchange organisations, embassies, culture institutes, tourism centres and publishing houses will take part.

The majority of people who attend Expolingua Berlin are primarythrough tertiary-level students, trainees and people “on the job”, but teachers – both of languages and other subjects – translators and interpreters are also present in abundance. The common denominator is their interest in languages and cultures: More than 15,000 visitors from all over Germany and neighbouring countries are expected.

French is this year’s language of honour. Language-travel agencies, language schools and training providers from France will present their products and services related to the French language.
