Projects

The Languages Company supports and initiates a number of projects relating to languages pedagogy and policy. Currently we are developing work on CLIL and Pupil Talk. We are also involved in 3 International Projects.

Languages in Europe - Theory Policy and Practice

A one year project in collaboration with the London School of Economics. We are discussing the conditions which favour policies on Multilingualism and the obstacles to their success, looking in particular at two issues –

Languages and Social Cohesion
Languages and Intercultural Communication/Employability.

The project will involve

A Review of existing language policies (November 2009 – March 2010)
A Seminar on Social Inclusion (18 December 2009)
