The British Council has released the Language Trends 2023 report, which provides an annual survey of primary and secondary schools in England to assess the impact of policy measures on language teaching and learning. The report highlights positive news, areas for further development, and evidence that teachers are consistently delivering engaging language lessons to children and young people. The Language Trends series seeks to provide a springboard for teachers, school leaders, academics, inspectors, policy makers, school pupils, and the public to consider aspects of language learning more deeply. Future plans include including the views of young people through a UK-wide pupil pulse survey and more qualitative research with teachers and pupils to better understand the language learning and teaching landscape.
