"What Works?"

The Mercator Institute’s work area "What Works?" intends to bridge the gap between research, policy-making and educational practice. A research team brings together existing knowledge about language eduction regarding the effectiveness of concepts, measures or models. This knowledge is evaluated and recombined according to defined evidence-based criteria. Finally, the conclusions address specific target groups across several formats.
