Share your views on language use at Aalto
The survey opens for students and personnel at the end of April—keep an eye on your Aalto email
Students will be invited to respond to the Aalto language environment survey starting at the end of April. The study explores experiences, attitudes, needs and wishes related to language use, both in studies and at work. The invitation to participate will be sent by email, and information will also be shared through the university’s communication channels.
We hope to receive plenty of responses both from students and personnel. The findings will be used to develop multilingual teaching and working practices, as well as the learning and use of Finnish at Aalto University.
The survey will be carried out by Aalto University’s Kielibuusti project.
