JOHN MICHAEL KLAPPER (Univ. of Birmingham): Monolingual Britain? Foreign Language Learning in the UK in Crisis

Veranstalter: Centre for British Studies/Lehrstuhl für Britische Kultur

This talk will review the UK's traditionally poor performance in language learning. It will consider recent changes in language provision in the school system, including the problematic issue of the removal of foreign language learning from the compulsory secondary school curriculum, and will look at current developments across primary, secondary and, in particular, higher sectors of education. It will also discuss the decline of German as a foreign language in British schools and of German Studies at university level and outline the responses of university language departments.
