On 17 July 2023, we launched our Manifesto at a meeting held by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Modern Languages at the House of Lords.
The meeting entitled “What's new in the field of languages?” featured a series of invited presentations by academics and organisations such as the British Council and the University Council for Languages on the latest developments in the languages sector. Also in attendance were parliamentarians, the Department for Education and a range of policymakers and key stakeholders.
We presented our project findings and formally launched our Manifesto for Linguistics in Language Teaching in the UK Context, which has been endorsed by a large number of subject and professional associations.
