Dear all

The email about foreign language consultation below is not directly related
to ESOL but may be of interest to those of you who are keen to promote
foreign language learning.  

Regards - Philida

Subject: [Baalmail] FW: Making Foreign Languages compulsory at Key Stage 2

Dear BAAL members
With apologies for cross-posting, I am forwarding the mail below for members
who may not have received it. The various documents available via the link
below indicate that responses to the first consultation (conducted during
the summer holiday period 2012) was astonishingly low - totalling just 318!
See extract below. 

Overview of responses
The organisational breakdown of respondents was as follows:
Higher Education* 144;
Primary School 79;
Secondary School 28;
Local Authority 12;
Organisations representing school teachers 12; Other 10; Subject Association
9; Parent 8; Academy/Free School 7; Employer/Business Sector 7; Special
School 1; Young Person 1;
Total: 318.
* There was a mini campaign from Warwick University students (123 responses)
which resulted in the high number of higher education responses. They
answered Q1a and b only and were very supportive of the proposal.

The Government now "proposes to require primary schools to teach one or more
of French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish or a classical language (Latin
or Ancient Greek)" - commencing in year 3 (age: 7)
 - from September 2014. 

The second consultation (closing 16 December 2012) invites comments on just
two final questions - whether you agree to the requirement that schools
should teach one of the above 5 languages (giving reasons for your views),
together with any further comments on the Draft Order (attached in an
Annex). 

I'd like to encourage members to respond/forward it to other interested
parties such as: Primary Education depts; local primary schools/advisors;
students and parents; in the hope that the response rate can be
substantially improved this time around.  
Hope you can find 10 mins. to influence this far-reaching policy decision. 
Janet

Subject: Making Foreign Languages compulsory at Key Stage 2

We would like to inform you of a further consultation that is taking place
between 16th November and 16th December 2012 to seek views on the draft
Order to make foreign languages compulsory at Key Stage 2; and on a new
proposal to require primary schools to teach one or more of French, German,
Italian, Mandarin, Spanish, or a classical language (Latin or Ancient Greek)
to pupils at Key Stage 2. Schools would, of course, be free to teach other
languages in addition if they wish to do so.

The consultation can be found at
