Most students now graduating from vocational schools are entering their professions with insufficient knowledge of a foreign language and are therefore unable to meet the requirements of the mobile professional world in Europe and internationally. Only a sustained dedication to furthering bilingual vocational training in schools can help to overcome the current foreign language deficit. This well-founded long-term goal can however only be achieved with appropriately qualified teaching staff. Bilingual vocational training at vocational schools was thematised within the framework of a previous project, “Using Bilingual Vocational Training to increase Language Competence at Vocational Schools in Europe” and general solutions to its didactic-systematic form and implementation were developed. The project detailed above builds on these results and, through the transfer of innovations in bilingual vocational training, wants to play a part in eliminating the lack of qualified teaching staff for bi-lingual vocational training, which is an effective way of developing foreign language competence in vocational schools. From October 2008 until October 2010, 13 partner institutions from eight European countries worked together on BILVOC II, directed by the Thuringian Ministry of Education, Science and Cultural Affairs (TMBWK). In addition to educational institutions from Estonia, France, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Germany, the project was partnered by the Thuringian Institute of In-Service Teacher Training, Curriculum Development and Media (Thillm) and the Technical University of lmenau.
