This symposium will outline the situations and expectations in Secondary and Higher Education and encourage closer co-operation between foreign language teachers in schools and in universities.
The following themes will be addressed in the first instance:
How can we identify the invisible language repertoires and raise the educational attainment of pupils with multilingual backgrounds?
How can we facilitate the recognition and accreditation of all existing language skills?
How can university language students support and enrich the curriculum through placements, ‘adopt-a-class’ schemes and residence-abroad partnerships?
How can the university language departments, with their focus on literary studies, film, linguistics and translation, support school teachers in their response to the new curriculum?
