Summary/Abstract: The Linguistics Colloquium Organized by the German Studies Department of the "Babeş-Bolyai" University in Cluj-Napoca: Experiences and Future Perspectives. The extracurricular activity of the linguistics workshop within the Department of German Language and Literature of the Faculty of Letters began in the first semester of the 2013/2014 academic year, under the coordination of two members of the teaching staff. Since 2021, the event has been known as the “Linguistics Colloquium.” This year, the activities expanded both in terms of topics and participants: more and more lecturers held presentations, enriching the practical dimension through theoretical contributions, so that the event has taken on the character of a small conference. The present contribution is not merely a report, even if at first glance it might appear as such. Instead, it aims to present the contents and methodological aspects, pursuing a dual objective: on the one hand, to highlight the diversity of German language teaching within the department; on the other hand, to outline a work and research perspective, based on previous experience, that will be useful to both students and teaching staff. In this context, the paper aims to analyse and compare the contents, methods, and objectives of the linguistics colloquia, thus evaluating an extracurricular activity that has contributed both to the linguistic development of students and to the professional advancement of lecturers. At the same time, based on the experience accumulated over the years, new objectives for the future are formulated.
