In this episode, we tackle the crisis facing Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) and English as an Additional Language (EAL) in schools. With declining language uptake, funding challenges in higher education institutes and a growing need for multilingual education globally, what can we do to turn the tide? Host Sarah Kate Towlson is joined by Silvia Bastow and Gemma Donovan, two leading experts in language education and acquisition, to discuss the realities, challenges and solutions for keeping languages alive in the classroom. From policy shifts to leadership strategies, this is a must-listen for educators, leaders and language advocates working in our increasingly multilingual schools.
