  Going local in language education

  This one day event, hosted by the Coalition for Language Education, brings together practitioners, researchers, community organisations and policy voices to explore how cities can play a stronger role in shaping inclusive and joined up language education. Set in the everyday reality of multilingual cities, the event looks at how people use, mix and develop languages across home, work, education and community life, and asks how education systems can better recognise and build on this rich linguistic expertise.
  Through case studies, structured discussion and cross sector dialogue, participants will reflect on current challenges including underfunding in ESOL, limited support for EAL and heritage languages, and fragmented language provision. The focus is firmly on practical, locally driven approaches, with space to explore how collaboration across schools, adult education, universities and communities can help regenerate language education in meaningful and equitable ways.
  This event is particularly relevant for anyone interested in local partnerships, community rooted practice and the future of language education in diverse urban settings. Is this conversation helpful so far?
