Languages of the Wider World: Valuing Diversity Following the 2005 HEFCE-commissioned Roberts Report's identification of languages as strategically important and vulnerable subjects (SIVS) significant funding has been released to promote and support languages across sectors, which has in turn led to an increased awareness of the strategic, civic and cultural importance of diverse languages and the establishment of initiatives such as Routes into Languages and the LWW-CETL. This conference will build on the momentum by showcasing the range of work being undertaken within languages of the wider world in higher education. While each language has its own particular needs, the conference aims to identify common issues in order to facilitate collaboration, raise the profile, and make the case for increased HE provision of languages of the wider world.
