What is the point of learning a language? Baroness Coussins @APPGMFL and @bbcnickrobinson get straight to the point. How amazing and fruitful it would be to have a proper public debate about that question... who's in? @future_of_MFL https://t.co/qdb7XjHSAs [scroll back to 07:22]
From secret agents protecting their countries to rock stars on tour and journalists seeking their next story... our games show that whether you want to be a pilot, scientist or personal trainer, learning another language improves your chances of success https://t.co/jwIuC6NKd2
We are delighted to report on the success of the Cross-OWRI Ambassadors Project.The primary aim was to raise the number of students progressing from GCSE to A level in a language. Read the independent report: https://t.co/eckolzdmXo via @MEITS_OWRI
Linguists, rightly, criticise the government for not consulting with them when making decision relating to language. But, for this, they did, but still ignored everything and learnt nothing - they got this question spectacularly wrong AGAIN. Census 2021? More like 1821.

This is indeed discriminatory, has no robust basis, and fails to recognise the value of language skills however they have been acquired. @creativelangs@OWRILanguages
Oh dear, I thought we’d addressed this years ago. There was a long campaign about 20 years ago & even a court case if I remember correctly. It’s totally discriminatory. @APPGMFL can we revisit this please? It’s crept back in. #LanguagesMemory
