The library

The library is located in bright and spacious accommodation which forms part of CILT's attractive Central London premises. It aims to be the UK's largest, most comprehensive and up-to-date source of material for language teaching and learning at all levels and ages, in book, audio, video and software form. It currently has about 14,000 titles. The library catalogue can be consulted at CILT and is also available online.

In addition to an extensive range of in print teaching materials in most languages taught in the UK and books and journals on language teaching methodology, the collection includes relevant coverage of education and applied and general linguistics. Other resources include past exam papers and specifications, dictionaries, grammars, bibliographies and abstracts. The library houses a specialist collection in Early Language Learning (ELL), and there are facilities for listening to audio recordings, for viewing video and satellite broadcasts and for previewing language learning software.

We regularly receive information on events, courses and institutions of interest to all those involved in MFL teaching and have a range of leaflets and other free materials to take with you. The library also offers access to a range of resources including modern foreign languages websites and promotional materials.

Teachers, researchers and others with an interest in language learning or teaching are welcome to drop-in at any time and use the facilities during our published opening hours which are listed above. Groups can also be accommodated by prior arrangement.
