Cambridge principles into practice - languages guide for schools

The choices a school makes about language use will impact on the educational experience of every learner. This guide will help schools evaluate their approach to languages and develop an integrated language policy. Focusing on language use across the school curriculum and environment, it will

• identify fundamental principles that we believe schools need to engage with while they evaluate their approach to language
• consider practices that support these principles
• describe how to develop a language policy
• explain our programmes and the support we offer related to language.
