This is the number of presentations...not the number of young people studying a language. If we still continue to measure language learning by exam results, we do the teachers and learners a massive injustice. It's languages, not modern languages. (1/3)
Things look grim for language learning in Scotland, with the number of pupils studying them in high school falling massively over the last twenty years. What's behind this shift, and can anything be done to stop it? My @heraldscotland long-read: heraldscotland.com/news/2395…

"an ancient university without language degrees is no longer ancient or a university" #saveuoalanguages
Like removing maths, natural sciences or history, an ancient university without language degrees is no longer ancient or a university. Managers should own their role in budget positions & lead not by 'doing to' but working creatively *with* students-staff bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-n…
