After the press reports on BGE, many people have contacted us, especially asking for self-teaching material. We are eagerly working on that.
Also, companies want to cooperate with us and have asked us whether BGE can also be particularly designed for certain professional groups. There is no real need for special subconcepts. The idea of the “individual” vocabulary aside from the “common” vocabulary allows a lexical specialization from the very beginning. In addition, it is easily conceivable to create courses such as “GE-A” (Global English for Academia), “GE-B” (Global English for Business), “GE-C” (Global English for Casual Communication). SO we have also begun to work on GE-B.

After 28 years at the University of Eichstätt, Jean-Pol Martin, the father of LdL, retires after this semester. Friends and family celebrated his life and work at a big party in Eichstätt, organized by Michael Kratky and myself. A report from the local newspaper Eichstätter Kurier is available here.
