The European Language Label (ELL) is an initiative of the European Commission whose aim is to highlight and reward innovative and creative initiatives in the field of teaching and learning languages. It also functions as a stimulus to uncover and disseminate results of such initiatives, while promoting public interest in improving language skills.
The label is awarded annually or biennially to the most innovative language learning projects in each country participating in the initiative. By supporting these projects at the national level, the label seeks to raise the standards of language teaching across Europe.
The European Language Label is coordinated by the European Commission. In 2019, it was introduced in Serbia too and is locally implemented by the Foundation Tempus.
Since 2021, Erasmus+ projects can automatically apply for the European Language Label via the final report form. In addition to that, the Foundation Tempus organises an open call for all other language projects and initiatives to apply for the Label. So far, we have organised 3 open calls (2019, 2021, 2023) and a significant number of projects were awarded the Label. The descriptions of these projects are available on the following link in Serbian.
