British Council Scotland Language Trends survey.
Language Trends Scotland is an in-depth survey for all primary and secondary schools across the country. The report will launch in February and will provide an independent overview of the teaching of modern languages in Scotland. The Language Trends report series shows general shifts in data and seeks to provide a springboard for teachers, school leaders, academics, inspectors, policymakers, school pupils, and the public to consider aspects of language learning more deeply.
Event: Where will languages take me?
British Council Scotland, Goethe Institut Glasgow, Institut Français d'Écosse and the Consejería de Educación are collaborating on a 'Where will languages take me' event as part of Languages Week Scotland.
The purpose of the session is to inspire secondary pupils in Scotland to continue studying languages, or to choose languages as a subject option.
During a live webinar, invited guests will share their inspiring language stories with pupils. We will hear about the languages that they have learned, the places they have travelled to, the skills that learning languages can bring and how they use languages in their work and daily lives. A Q&A with pupils will follow speaker sessions.
The session will be recorded and published at a later date as a lasting resource for young people.
We look forward to celebrating languages with you and your pupils during Languages Week Scotland!
