  7. 1] In the current survey, the proportion of students studying an IWLP course for academic credit was around 62% of the total. However, this figure masks a considerable diversity across the sector with several institutions offering their IWLP courses only as a credit option and with several institutions offering IWLP courses only on a non-credit basis. Survey of Institution-wide Language Provision in Higher Education

  8. In 2002, the DfES published a National Languages Strategy, Languages for All: Languages for Life. A Strategy for England. • In 2005, the Labour Schools Minister, Jacqui Smith, announced a new Modern Foreign Languages initiative: schools were expected to deliver a ‘statutory entitlement’ to Modern Foreign Languages by ensuring that 50-90% of their pupils should continue the study of at least one language to a recognised qualification at Key Stage 4 Government Policy: 2002-2013

  9. The English Baccalaureate – the EBacc – was introduced by the Department for Education (DfE) in January 2011 as an additional measure in the performance tables for schools. • Pupils who achieve a GCSE grade C or better in English, maths, a language, history or geography, and two sciences achieve the EBacc. • There are signs that this may be driving an increased uptake in languages at KS4 already. • However, a recent DfE report shows that this is limited, and further highlights the distinction between selective and non-selective schools. • In September 2012, the government issued a consultation on the reform of KS4 qualifications, in which EBacc certificates are proposed in the core subjects (including languages), leading to an EBacc qualification for those pupils gaining the required set of 6.

  10. The Scottish government announced in May 2012 that it will now explore opportunities for all young people to start learning a second language from P1 (1st year of primary).The report’s other key recommendations include advice that learning a third language should start no later than P5 (age 9) and that primary and secondary schools should work more closely together to ensure better progression in language learning. • MFL is currently only compulsory for KS3, and statistics suggest that just 25% of schoolchildren currently continues to GCSE level. Welsh (either as a first or second language) is compulsory from 5-16 years. A draft report from Eurydice - Key data on Teaching Languages at School in Europe shows that Wales has the shortest period of compulsory foreign language learning in Europe.

  11. In 2000, the Nuffield Foundation published Languages: The Next Generation and,in 2003, the follow-up report A New Landscape for Languages. • The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) commissioned The National Languages Strategy in Higher Education, led by HilaryFootitt(DfES, 2005). Institutional Reports on MFLs
