Primary Languages
Learning languages in practice
These videos demonstrate a range of approaches to language teaching in primary schools. They illustrate how language-trained specialist primary teachers, peripatetic teachers and non-language specialists can all play a role in integrating languages into the primary curriculum.
They also highlight funding opportunities, timetabling ideas, and the benefits that second language learning has for pupils, teachers and the wider school community.
