Feedback from a participant😍: "I am so happy to have been a part of this. I especially agree with the conclusion that a shift from focusing on what teachers "lack" to focusing on what we achieve in language teaching is very welcome, and more helpful!" doi.org/10.1080/01434632.202…

What a JOY to see this study published, with @ThereseTishakov!😍 By observing and interviewing six language teachers, we identified nine different spaces where they highlighted multilingualism in their teaching. We hope this study can be useful for many! doi.org/10.1080/01434632.202…

Add to the list of depressingly short-sighted UK higher education decisions: Cardiff University's plans to axe 400 jobs and close courses in modern languages, music, and nursing, among others. Hen dro! Sign the petition against the cuts here: change.org/p/save-mlang-at-c…

On #EducationDay read about our project ‘Progression in Primary Languages’ led by @R_E_Kasprowicz @UniRdg_IoE. Initial results show children’s attitudes towards language learning are positive but motivation is decreasing over time, particularly in Year 6 rdg.ac/3WyIBBM
