The @APPGMFL with 16 organisations representing teachers, school leaders and linguists today call on @educationgovuk to delay MFL GCSE reform and work with stakeholders to reach a consensus. Read the APPG statement/add your support at https://t.co/JORnUnNRID #LanguagePolicyUK

[branwen jeffreys @branwenjeffreys]

As I’ve reported on @BBCr4today - concerns are bubbling up about changes to how teenagers learn languages. The government argues focus on 2000 most used words will increase uptake. It seems many others disagree

[ILCS @ILCS_SAS]

There are some great articles in 'Languages, Society and Policy' @meits_owri on the proposed changes to GCSE qualifications in ML, including from IMLR Director Charles Burdett: 'Global Britain and the Question of Communication'

“We believe that a better way to inspire young people to take up #languages would be to offer them a richer, eye-opening, interculturally oriented curriculum focused on understanding and critiquing language and culture.” https://t.co/GpgeqsYk0t #MFLTwitterati 2/2
