As part of our commitment to our partnership schools, we are inviting secondary and primary modern languages mentors, other ML colleagues, ECTs, current trainees and colleagues with an interest in languages to attend our professional development and research meetings.
Each meeting will address a current theme in the field of languages education and will offer a stimulating range of inputs, discussions and an opportunity for the sharing of good practice and innovative thinking from members of our thriving languages community.
For our next meeting we will be joined by Dr Judith Rifeser who will share a brief insight into the work of the newly established National Consortium for Languages Education (NCLE) which is comprised of the Institute of Education, the Goethe Institut London and the British Council. It aims to build capacity in languages across the regions, developing and supporting a collaborative network of lead language hubs and their partners to strengthen system-led leadership in languages across England and improve the learning opportunities and outcomes for all pupils. To fulfil this potential, the value of all our languages must be leveraged. Let us explore together in this session the vision that languages and intercultural agility can help to foster universal understanding and contribute to building a peaceful and harmonious world future.
Judith is a languages teacher – researcher – filmmaker. She has just been appointed as Head of Language Learning Futures and Lecturer at the Institute of Education (IOE), UCL, supporting NCLE.
