Perceptions of Primary Languages

We are keen to better understand teacher, teacher educator, and trainees’ views on the Key Stage 2 Languages Programme of Study, approaches to assessment of primary languages, and beliefs about language teaching at this level (age 7 to 11).

If you are a primary school teacher, teacher educator or trainee in England, we would love to hear from you!

Teacher survey:

We are keen to hear from anyone who is currently involved in languages teaching in a primary school in England, regardless of whether they consider themselves to be a languages specialist or not. Teacher survey link: https://reading.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/perceptions-primary-languages-teacher

Teacher educator survey:

We are keen to hear from any teacher educators from both university- and school-based ITT programmes, who are involved in training new teachers to teach languages in primary schools, both those who teach on a general primary education programme or on a programme with a languages specialism.

We are keen to hear from any trainees, who are training to be primary school teachers in England, both those on a general primary education programme (which includes one or two sessions on primary languages) or on a programme with a languages specialism.
