Current trends in Modern Languages provision for non-specialist linguists

María Fernández-Toro
Dr María Fernández-Toro is Lecturer in Modern Languages at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where she led the Language Centre's European Languages section for twelve years.

She is a regular speaker at MFL conferences and a consultant for other HE institutions nationwide.

Peter Satchwell
Peter Satchwell taught French, German and Music for twenty years in comprehensive schools before joining Surrey LEA as Inspector for Modern Languages. His advisory role included languages in primary and secondary schools and adult education. His specific enthusiasm was the introduction of graded objectives into primary and secondary schools and a pioneering project with the Open College Federation to bring graded objectives into Surrey and Hampshire adult education classes.

Peter subsequently worked as a teacher trainer tutoring the PGCE Modern Languages course at Sussex University. His pastoral responsibilities for a large cluster of Surrey primary schools led to a growing interest in primary methodology and concern for the future of primary languages provision.

Peter has been a regular speaker at the Primary Languages Show and other CILT courses and conferences. He currently chairs the national Primary Languages Network (PLN) of advisers, advisory teachers and teacher trainers set up in the mid-1980s to promote and support early language learning initiatives.
