CILT provides a number of free email discussion lists. These enable language teaching professionals to:

• exchange ideas
• comment on materials
• ask each other questions
• share problems and challenges
• discuss issues of policy and promotion
• keep up to date with what's going on.

Many teachers and trainers who already subscribe to discussion lists find them an invaluable source of professional updating. The lists are open to anyone who is interested and everyone is welcome to join.

Mailtalk is closing down on 31st. December 2012 so the Primary Languages and Linguanet Fora are moving to GroupSpaces. Uur new lists won't be operational until early January so please accept our apologies for this brief interruption of services. We have automatically transferred all subscribers to the new lists. You do not need to do anything at this stage as you are already a member of the lists.

Linguanet forum
This is a discussion group for all those involved in language teaching and research. It aims to enable discussion and information exchange on the subject of teaching modern foreign languages, primarily in schools and sixth forms in the UK.

Primary languages forum
The primary languages forum aims to encourage and facilitate exchange of ideas, discussion of issues, professional updating and peer support for and between those involved or interested in primary languages teaching and learning.

For support, information and advice on all aspects of primary languages, visit http://www.primarylanguages.org.uk/.
