"Valuing languages is fundamentally a matter of human dignity and respect – languages define us, and to ignore or marginalise them is to undervalue identity, culture and the rich diversity of the communities and nations of the UK."
“All four UK Governments need to continue to value languages, to value the UK’s multilingualism and do all they can to ensure that language learning opportunities are accessible to all - regardless of background or geographic location.” CIOL’s John Worne comments on the recent ‘Languages in UK Education’ report from Wendy Ayres-Bennett and @charlesforsdick, a fascinating summary of language education in the UK, and offers his thoughts for the future in this CIOL Voices article: ciol.org.uk/languages-uk-edu… #CIOLVoices #Language #Education #LanguageTeaching
