About this book/synopsis: published to concide with the 30th anniversary of the formation of the Centre for Information on Language Teaching and Research (CILT), this volume reviews the transformation seen in language teaching in the UK since 1966, and looks forward to the challenges of a multilingual Britain. Twenty-five contributors, all leaders in their fields, consider every level of education from primary school to university and beyond. There is a review of recent research as well as a statistical survey of boys and girls' performance in examinations at age 16 and 18 between 1965 and 1995. The national need for language skills in business is considered. Britain's 180+ community languages and the positions of Welsh and Gaelic are examined and a special section looks at recent developments in Scotland. The book includes in-depth studies of recent developments, and raises a number of provocative questions about language teaching in the UK. Chapters: Part Two: Languages for All? Part Three: Multilingual Britain Part Four: When to start Part Five: The Changing Curriculum Part Six: The Changing Classroom Part Seven: Who Trains the Trainers? Part Eight: Three Decades of Research Part Nine: A Postscript Part Ten: Dreams and Challenges |
