Projects
A number of Language Colleges have opted to participate in these CILT-LC projects:
Research and Development
Digital Video in the MFL Classroom
Digital video in the MFL classroom is an initiative from CILT, the National Centre for Languages, in collaboration with the BBC 21CC (21st Century Classroom), to promote innovation in language teaching. Using DfES funding for research and development in Specialist Language Colleges (including those with languages as a second specialism), the project was set up to explore the potential for introducing target language film-making into the MFL curriculum, with the focus on pupils taking creative ownership of the film they are producing.

Digital Voices Across the Curriculum
Digital Voices Across the Curriculum is an initiative from CILT, the National Centre for Languages, in collaboration with the BBC, to promote innovation in language teaching. Using DfES funding for research and development in Language Colleges, the project was set up to explore the potential of digital audio for cross-curricular work. Pupils were taught to create and edit digital audio recordings of themselves speaking the target language, on cross-curricular topics falling outside the MFL Scheme of Work. Teachers from other curriculum areas such as Business Studies, Geography and Music worked with their MFL colleagues to share ideas and teaching approaches. Read more.
Primary MFL and Language Colleges - Working in partnership
Early Language Learning and Language Colleges (ELL-LC)
The Early Language Learning and Language Colleges (ELL-LC) project has been running since 2003. There are now over 200 SLCs and their primary partners involved in supporting and extending excellent provision in primary MFL. We held our last annual conference for the ELL-LC project on 4 December 2007. The focus was the crucial area of building training and support networks in order to develop quality and sustainability in Primary Languages. The conference brought together representatives from CILT, teachers in SLCs and primary teachers. Read more.
