Teaching and Learning Heritage Languages: Multilingualism, Identity, and Innovative methods
Dear Colleagues,
On the occasion of International Mother Language Day, the language centers at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and Goethe University cordially invite you to the sixth Heritage Language Week2026. We would like to invite teachers, educators, coordinators, students, and experts in the field of heritage languages alike and join them under the title “Teaching and Learning Heritage Languages: Multilingualism, Identity, and Innovative Methods.”
The aim of the Heritage Language Week is to raise awareness concerning heritage languages. Furthermore, it provides a platform for the exchange of teaching and learning experiences in the field of heritage language teaching at schools and higher-education institutions.
The Heritage Language Week is conducted in the format of a “Good Practice Exchange,” which offers participants the opportunity to present, discuss, and further develop methods and techniques for teaching heritage languages.
The event will take place from February 17 to 19, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences.
We look forward to welcoming everyone who works in the field of heritage languages at schools and higher-education institutions. Foreign language teachers are also cordially invited to attend the event.
Participation is free of charge, but registration is required. You will receive a certificate of participation after the event.
Take advantage of this opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues, gain new inspiration, and shape the future of heritage language teaching together!
