We are delighted to welcome Professor Simone Pfenninger (Universität Salzburg) who will present a lecture on the following topic (lecture in German, slides in French, handout in English):

Je früher desto besser? Und für wen? Mehrsprachigkeit, Alter und Fremdsprachenlernen in Schweizer Schulen.

One research focus of Professor Pfenninger is the acquisition and learning of languages. The role of age in foreign language learning is often discussed in Switzerland as each canton organizes language teaching differently. During this public lecture, some of the conventional wisdom concerning foreign language learning in Swiss schools will be closely examined.

You are cordially invited to attend this event!
