The Erasmus+
Programme reinforces the support offered to the participants of mobility activities in improving their foreign language competences
before and during their stay abroad, including additional linguistic support grant for participants in long term mobility
in vocational education and training (VET) and school education fields. An Erasmus+ Online Language Support (OLS) service
provides the participants in mobility activities with the opportunity to assess their knowledge of two languages as well as
