Language auditors carry out an investigation of the language needs of a particular organisation, resulting in a report outlining what action the organisation can undertake to increase the language competence of its staff members, thereby improving contacts with foreign stakeholders.

EAPLA was founded in 2004 as an outcome of a Leonardo da Vinci project called LATE (Language Auditing – Tools for Europe). More information on the project can be found at the LATE website.

EAPLA was set up with financial support from the European Community.

 

News EAPLA is a partner in "A Common Framework of Reference for Professional Language and Communication Competencies", a Leonardo project coordinated by Helsinki Polytechnic, Finland. For further details see here.
