Centre for Applied Linguistics

The Centre for Applied Linguistics in Besancon is an educational facility specializing in the teaching of foreign languages. The establishment has language laboratories, media libraries, and classrooms where individuals and groups learn together.

The facility was founded in 1958 and pioneered practical methods for learning foreign languages using modern laboratory technology. It developed as part of the University of Franche-Comte and shaped teaching around actual language use.

The center draws students from around the world and creates a space where different languages and cultures meet. Visitors experience daily encounters between people learning together and sharing their own traditions.

Visitors should expect activity during class times, as many learners work simultaneously. The facility is designed for students and working adults, so it is best to check ahead about available courses and open times.

The facility investigates language learning processes and helps professionals in over 65 countries improve their skills. This makes it more than a simple school, but rather a source of knowledge spread worldwide.
