ED Decision 2021/003/R
LANGUAGE TRAINING
A purely routine use of the language through phraseology, standard procedures and limited social contact only maintains a restricted core usage of the language which might be inadequate for managing unexpected and abnormal situations.
Language proficiency erosion (language attrition) occurs rapidly over time; the lower the initial level, the faster the rate of erosion unless systematic strategies and a high degree of motivation counteract this trend.
It is documented that one’s language and communicative proficiency, even in one’s native language, deteriorates sharply under stress; therefore, participation in available language training is recommended.
