UCML projects
We have been involved in the following projects
Routes into Languages
The Routes into Languages Programme is a HEFCE and DCSF funded initiative to increase and widen participation in language study in higher education. It also aims to support the national role of HE languages as a motor of economic and civic regeneration. The Programme was developed by UCML, LLAS and CILT.
AHRC research review in Modern Languages
UCML was represented on the panel appointed by AHRC in 2006 to undertake a review of Modern Languages research in the UK. More information about the review and its findings are published on the LLAS website.
The National Languages Strategy in Higher Education
In 2005 the DfES commissioned UCML to carry out a research project looking at the implications of the National Languages Strategy for HE. The National Languages Strategy in Higher Education, authored by Hilary Footitt, set out the challenges faced by Modern Languages and recommendations for increasing the take-up of languages at university.
Collaboration Programme in Modern Languages in Higher Education
In October 2001, UCML and LLAS were awarded £482,950 from HEFCE's Restructuring and Collaboration Fund for a three-year programme. The programme consisted of 10 pilot projects involving a series of collaborative and cooperative developments in modern languages. Futher information can be found on the LLAS website.
