Diploma in Lithuanian Language

Duration: 12 Months (1 year)

1. PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Diploma in Lithuanian Language is a comprehensive 12-month language training program designed to develop learners’ proficiency from beginner to intermediate level (CEFR A1–B1). The program focuses on building strong communication skills required for academic, professional, and social environments in Lithuania and across the European Union.

The curriculum follows a structured and progressive modular system (48 modules), allowing learners to gradually advance from basic language concepts to more complex linguistic and communicative competencies. The program integrates all four key language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—through a balanced combination of theoretical instruction and practical application.

Throughout the program, learners engage in interactive, task-based learning, including group discussions, presentations, real-life simulations, case studies, and project-based assignments. Emphasis is placed on functional communication, enabling learners to effectively handle workplace interactions, academic tasks, and everyday communication in Lithuanian.

As learners progress, they are introduced to advanced grammar structures, expanded vocabulary, formal and informal communication styles, and professional language usage. The program also incorporates academic Lithuanian, business communication, and cross-cultural communication skills, preparing learners for integration into Lithuanian society and professional environments.

By the end of the program, learners will be able to communicate confidently and effectively in a wide range of situations, understand spoken and written Lithuanian in real-life contexts, and produce structured written and spoken content. They will also demonstrate the ability to analyze information, participate in discussions, and present ideas clearly.

This program is ideal for international students, professionals, migrants, and job seekers who aim to develop Lithuanian language proficiency for higher education, employment, or long-term integration.

The curriculum is aligned with European language standards (CEFR A1–B1) and structured in accordance with Lithuania’s Educational Support Services (85.61) framework, ensuring high-quality, legally compliant, and internationally recognized non-degree professional training.
