RiPL

We're a group of researchers, teachers, teacher educators & policy makers investigating & reporting on the use & learning of languages in primary classrooms.

What does the latest evidence say about maximising progression in primary languages? Learning is optimised when:

👉1hr per week of language learning is offered throughout the school year.

[RiPL @riplnetwork]

👉digital tools are used to facilitate quality learning resources and assessment. @SuzanneJaneGrah

[RiPL @riplnetwork]

digital tools can offer accessible ITE and CPD which are essential factors in capacity-building for primary languages. @SuzanneJaneGrah @ALL4language @APPGML @network_primary

It's official! 😉 Values and being valued are central to teaching and learning.

Our research shows:

👉 confident teachers are crucial for optimising languages education outcomes.

👉teacher competence is significantly improved by research-informed, online CPD.

[RiPL @riplnetwork]

👉 scaffolded approaches (reflection, collaboration, contextualisation, experimentation, reflection) support teachers to implement evidence-based practice.

👉 collaborative CPD supports teachers' sense of being valued, their professional learning and validated their expertise.

👉EAL children bring valuable knowledge and skills to the languages classroom to support their learning.

👉SEND children make meaningful progress in linguistic and non-linguistic outcomes.
