The `Open and Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Research in Methodology of Teaching/Learning Languages and Cultures` (Laboratoire ouvert et interdisciplinaire pour la recherche en Méthodologie de l’enseignement/apprentissage des langues et des cultures - Méthodal OpenLab) is a research partnership, founded in 2017 by Olivier Delhaye, Professor-Researcher at the Department of French Language and Literature of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) and Fryni Kakoyianni-Doa, Associate Professor at the Department of French and European Studies of the University of Cyprus and is now under the exclusive institutional supervision of the Department of French and European Studies of the University of Cyprus. The Laboratory stands out, compared to other laboratories, due to its status as an open laboratory (OpenLab), its close connection with large scientific and professional networks, its high degree of interdisciplinarity, combining educational and language sciences, communication sciences and technologies. The main objective is to achieve an optimal synergy among researchers, agents and actors in the fields of education and employment, directly or indirectly linked to the methodology of teaching/learning languages and cultures.
