The Wall of Language

The Wall of Language is a website that has been created by Nick Mair and Nick Friend with support of the Association for Language Learning and CILT for you to email prospective MPs questions about Language Learning. The website states

“Our aim is to make all political parties include a statement about the importance of languages in their manifesto.”

It’s easy to take part, just go to the website and follow the instructions on the Home Page. There are plenty of letters that have already been written that you can use and there’s even a link for you to find out who your Parliamentary Candidates are.

This is a great opportunity to see what importance our prospective MPs place on Languages, with falling numbers at KS4 and so few University students opting to take a Language degree.

I’ve written to the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates for my constituency, however unfortunately I couldn’t contact the Independent and UKIP candidates as they appeared to have no contact details. If someone could help me with that I would be very grateful )
