The Institut National des Langues (INL) has awarded Luxembourgish language and culture certificates to 23 successful candidates.
During the 2020-21 academic year, the INL organised the twelfth edition of its training course "Certificate of Luxembourgish Language and Culture" (Zertifikat Lëtzebuerger Sprooch a Kultur; ZLSK).
This training course focuses on meeting the needs, goals and learning processes of adults who wish to learn Luxembourgish and providing future language teachers with the necessary theoretical, practical, professional and methodological-didactic backgrounds. The course lasts a total of 120 hours split over two semesters and divided into three modules: Didactics (60 hours); Literature and Culture (30 hours); Linguistics (30 Hours).
Course participants can also gain practical experience teaching Luxembourgish as a foreign language by means of an additional internship (6 hours).
With this certificate, ZLSK graduates are permitted to teach Luxembourgish courses in the municipalities and in the conventional sector.
In 2020-21, 23 candidates successfully completed the INL course and are now officially qualified to teach Luxembourgish courses for adults.
In the presence of their own teachers, the graduates received their diplomas during a ceremony at the INL, held in accordance with the CovidCheck system, in the presence of Marc Barthelemy, Commissioner for the Luxembourg Language, Eric Goerens, Director of the Adult Education Service, and Maisy Gorza, Director of the INL.
