Welcome to Our Languages

We promote community languages teaching and learning through partnerships between complementary and mainstream schools.

The 'Our Languages' project supports community languages teaching and learning and aims to encourage community cohesion, celebrate pupil achievement and promote plurilingualism. Regional partnerships across England involve schools in the project in a variety of activities. We also provide information on accreditation, community language provision in your local area as well as current research, events and links related to community languages education. See 'About Us' for more information.
