Summary
We call on Government to consult with language teachers across all educational levels & use this evidence to develop a modern national strategy for foreign language teaching. This strategy should address curriculum content, assessment methods, & the level of difficulty in language qualifications. Foreign language learning in the UK is in long-term decline, with falling GCSE and A-level uptake and a shortage of teachers. This has consequences for the UK’s global competitiveness, cultural understanding, and ability to engage internationally. We call on the Government to publish a national strategy for foreign language education, including: • measures to improve teacher recruitment & retention • support for schools to expand language provision • steps to increase student participation
