Description
The event is aimed at those involved with language policy, language education and research at all levels from primary to higher education, and provision of language services in both the public and private sectors, including technology, publishing exam boards. This relates to all languages, including Scots Gaelic, English, and BSL, as well as all other world languages. Our interests cover everything to do with languages from primary school to lifelong learning (including supplementary schools), to promote the value of an improved understanding of languages, societies and cultures across the UK, and to increase the numbers of individuals engaging in language learning across all languages, all levels and all modes of study.Speakers at the event will include: Professor Charles Forsdick, Lead Fellow for Languages at The British Academy and Professor Antonella Sorace, Fellow of the British Academy to place the initiative in the context of a national languages strategy for the UK; Philip Harding-Esch, independent consultant, to showcase the website itself; Shona Hugh, Education Scotland, to offer a Scottish policy perspective. Speakers will talk for 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.
