Yet a special Eurobarometer study on Multilingualism, launched by the Directorate General for Education and Culture in 2005, clearly indicates that while English is only the second most widely-spoken mother tongue in Europe, it is by far the most widely-spoken foreign language throughout Europe, with 38% of EU citizens stating that they have sufficient skills in English to have a conversation. The conference wishes to address the issue of English as a European lingua franca seen from the perspectives of Linguistics, Translation Studies, Literature, and English-Language Teaching.
