In May 2014, a Language Centre has been established at the University of Luxembourg, which aims to support academic language skills in the three official university languages English, French and German. Shortly after its foundation, the Language Centre conducted a university-wide needs analysis, to establish the needs for language support. This paper presents findings of this investigation that report on the role German language plays at the University of Luxembourg. Moreover, it will discuss measures and strategies to support German language acquisition within the scope of the university’s multilingual orientation. [less ▲]
