About the primary languages forum
The primary languages forum is an email discussion
list for primary teachers and leaders and anyone with an interest
in primary languages. It is a place for discussion, peer support
and sharing ideas and information. The forum focuses on primary
languages in the UK but welcomes contributions from the
international community.
What is an email discussion list?
Email discussion lists enable a community of registered users to
send and receive messages to eachother by email. The primary
languages forum works using a system provided by Mailtalk, run by
JISCmail, the National Academic Mailing List Service. Members of
the primary languages forum use a nominated existing email account
to compose and send a post to the forum. This post is distributed
to registered primary languages forum members and appears in their
email inboxes.
Discussion topics
All contributions related to primary languages teaching and
learning are welcomed. Typical topics include using ICT,
cross-curricular approaches, curriculum planning, feedback on
useful resources, primary languages policy and staff
development.
Posts sent to the primary languages forum are stored

primary languages forum archives. You can also search the
archives for previous relevant posts.
