Realising the Strategic Importance of Languages
Join our high profile speakers and expert panel from business, schools, universities, and government at the easily accessible Royal Station Hotel in Newcastle.
We will hear from Baroness Coussins and Richard Hardie as keynote speakers followed by workshops in which we can formulate responses to their address - either as questions put to them in plenary, or as actions for us in our own schools and institutions.
We will hear from an expert panel and be able to put questions to them on the challenges and solutions present in teaching and learning languages in UK schools and universities.
By the end of this session we will have:
•explored ways of thinking differently about language learning in schools
•shared examples of our own best practice from curricular organisation to classroom craft
•started to develop strategies for our own schools in realising the strategic importance of languages
•gained a deeper understanding of the national 'languages landscape'
