Leaders - Resourcing

The question of who teaches primary languages has a variety of answers. The Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages is designed to support primary class teachers in taking control of the programme of learning for their classes. There are different solutions to providing high quality learning for children. Here teachers and head teachers discuss a number of models of provision to suit different circumstances.

Staff development

Opportunities for training and professional development are offered at national, regional and local level. These may overlap and complement each other but confidence and expertise are best developed at a local level. Models of training will differ according to the geography of a local area and the services of language colleges, universities, consultants and Advanced Skills Teachers (ASTs).
