at treffpunkt sprachen is a socio-political
project based on a sociolinguistic foundation.

TEACHING
Fundamental orientation, research profile and current projects characterise the Plurilingualism Research Units' course range which, fully in compliance with the definition of treffpunkt sprachen as an inter-university and inter-faculty centre, is open to students from all faculties and co-operating universities. The offers range from lectures on sociolinguistics, language diversity and language policy to courses on empirical questions and the introduction of individual languages, primarily minority languages and non-European working languages, which often results in language courses being set up.
Courses are grouped into modules but can also be taken as individual classes or be defined as subjects of individual degree programmes by the respective curriculum commissions. The lectures are conducted with strong participation by guest lecturers.

- [*] The realisation of language courses depends on the demand or the number of registrations. Language courses are usually preceded by a proseminar about the language's socio-cultural context; Swahili and Hindi were subjects in the academic year 2011/12. Participation in this proseminar is helpful and recommended, but not a prerequisite for admission to the respective course.
