Introduction According to the national census of the year 2000, there are 7.288.010 million1 people living in the small alpine country Switzerland which has an area of only 16.000 square mile ( 41.285 km2; about 1/2 the size of the U.S. state of Maine). Switzerland has one of the highest GNP in the world and it is known as a neutral country that does not belong to the European Union. It has its own currency, the Swiss franc, which has been relatively stable for more than a century, since Switzerland was not involved in the First and Second World War and because of the country's long history of democracy. Despite its size, Switzerland is a multi-lingual agglomeration of peoples, cultures, institutions, and organizations. 2. History and Demographics A. History Switzerland was founded in the year 1291, when the four states situated around the Four Canton Lakes (Vierwaldstädtersee) – Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden and Nidwalden – united in a covenant of independency and freedom as they pledged mutual support against the threats of the Habsburg Empire.

  • Trilingual Education in Switzerland*
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Trilingual education in Switzerland* CLAUDINE BROHY Abstract The Swiss Confederation is known for its historical multilingualism. The four national languages are, however, unequally distributed among its in- habitants. Individual foreign-language competence, including English, also varies strongly. The educational system reflects cantonal di¤erences. The article distinguishes between strong, intermediate, and weak forms of trilin- gual education. The strong form can be found at university level, the inter- mediate form includes all bilingual models with a course in one additional language, and the weak form is found frequently, in particular, in secondary education. A new model of multilingualism emerges with two national lan- guages, plus English. Research has thus far dealt mainly with the outcomes of bilingual education, but in the near future will focus more on the di¤er- ences between second- and third-language learning and the outcomes of tri- lingual education. 1. Introduction For centuries or even millennia, the territory of what is now called Swit- zerland has lain at a crossroads of di¤erent languages and cultures. The indigenous Celtic population was overwhelmed by the Roman army at the time of Christ’s birth, like the rest of Europe, which led to the Romanization of the region. As the Germanic invasions swept over the territory, from the sixth century AD on, the Alamans contributed to the development of a German-speaking population living alongside the Romance communities, which emerged from the contact of the former population with the Romans.

  • Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

  • Master Thesis Geological Information System Switzerland
    Master Thesis submitted within the UNIGIS MSc programme at the Centre for GeoInformatics (Z_GIS) Salzburg University Geological Information System Switzerland - Supplying geoscientific geoinformation to the NSDI by Dr. Nils Oesterling U1304 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science (Geographical Information Science & Systems) – MSc (GISc) Advisors: Dr. Andreas Kühni Ao. Univ. Prof. Dr. Josef Strobl Gümligen, October 31, 2009 Preface & Acknowledgements Preface The present master thesis was worked out in the framework of the UNIGIS course of studies Geographical Information Science & Systems at the University of Salzburg, Austria. The topic of the thesis is related to my work at the Swiss Geological Survey (SGS). The SGS is beside other tasks responsible for the coordination of the geological, geotechnical and geophysical survey in Switzerland. This task is difficult to perform, because the Swiss geo-community is diverse and heterogeneously structured. A corporate geological survey like in other countries does not exist. Because of this reason a tool for the coordination of the national geo-community and the access and exchange of geo-scientific data and information is need. The vision for such an envisioned information system is: Create an interactive tool for the players of the Swiss geo-community to improve existing work-flows. Using such a system, the nowadays dispersed and heterogeneously organised Swiss geo-community gets a tool for the coordination of their tasks and the efficient and easy exchange of data and information. The more efficient access to geological information facilitates the activities in the geo-community and enhances the awareness of geology in the society, politics and economy.

In Swiss history, there has never been a record of a civil war or tensions between linguistic groups raising the question of what accounts for the national identity. The Swiss do not follow the typical definition in nationalism leading to an investigation on establishing the factors that comprise of the Swiss national identity and its effect on the political system.

  • FIDE Online General Assembly 6 December 2020
    FIDE Online General Assembly 6 December 2020 MINUTES 1. FIDE President’s address FIDE President welcomed all to the first ever meeting of the Online General Assembly and said that we are learning to work under new conditions and it is not an easy exercise. He proposed not to have formal scrutineers since the system does the count automatically and everyone receives the list with all the comprehensive data after the end of General Assembly; the only secret vote is for Olympiad 2024. The General Assembly approved. Dear Delegates of FIDE Online General Assembly, Dear chess friends, It is a privilege to share with you the results of our work, to summarize what has been achieved over the last two years, and to plan together for the future. My manifesto in 2018 included several promises, and I can proudly say that our dedicated team has managed to deliver - even during the difficult time of the pandemic. Our development program provided support to projects in more than 100 countries, and FIDE will keep providing this help since we know how important it is for national federations. Last year we allocated over 2 mln Euro for these purposes, this year we budgeted 1 mln Euro - due to reduced activity caused by the pandemic - but we are ready to get back to a full-scale support once the situation is normalized. Not only we cared to deliver funds to the federations, we ensured constant technical assistance and communication in such a way that many federations could feel that FIDE is always there for them.

  • Couverture Cahier De L'ilsl 48
    Cahiers de l‘ILSL 48, 2016, 9-26. PERSPECTIVES ON ENGLISH IN SWITZERLAND Patricia RONAN Université de Lausanne [email protected] Abstract In the context of this volume, which focusses on the position of English in the context of multilingual Switzerland, the characteristics of English as an international language and lingua franca are discussed and its position in teaching and education. This introductory chapter provides background information to contextualize the contributions in the volume. To do so, it outlines key developments in research into English in Switzerland and sketches the multilingual situation in Switzerland. It then proceeds to give an overview of the development of English as a world language and the domains of its use in Switzerland. This contribution argues that, like the world-wide spread of English, the use of English in Switzerland is now motivated both by pressure from international business and by the demands of language users. Key-words: Multilingualism, English as an international language, Swiss English, language attitudes, majority languages, minority languages. 1. INTRODUCTION The English language forms an unmissable part of many areas of public and private life in Switzerland. English words and expressions, such as sorry, cool or oh my God, are used in all the national languages of Switzerland, large population groups are able to speak English and use it regularly in business, education or travel contexts, and the question whether English poses a threat to the national languages and national cohesion is asked repeatedly, whereas the complaint that English should have a larger part in the curricula of Swiss school and university curricula can also be heard.
