What do you want to know about languages in 14-19?

I want to see ‘live’ examples of good practice in action.
Reshaping languages contains hundreds of video clips illustrating good practice. Pick a theme from the left-hand menu and opt for ‘case studies’. Wherever you see this symbol video icon you will be able to view and download videoclips of teachers in action or interviews about why things work well and how you can do them yourselves.

I want to know about the latest language policy, events and awards for my learners.
You’ll be able to find out about all of these things by choosing an appropriate theme from our menu. You can also click here for information about CILT's free regional Diploma seminars.

I want to get advice about teaching strategies and read examples of good practice in different courses and for a variety of learner groups. I want to be able to use new ideas in my own practice and share ideas with my colleagues.
You can gain a wealth of ideas about inspiring a range of different learners from our 14-19 themes. Most of our themes include sub-themes on ‘Principles of Teaching’, ‘Organisational Issues’ and ‘Resources’. Take a look at ‘Target language’ to get started.

I want to access resources that I can use in class.
Reshaping languages contains a treasure-trove of resources, many of them created by teachers for teachers. Most of our themes include a sub-theme on ‘Resources’ which are directly linked to the topic you are interested in. There are also a large number of links to other resources sites within our themes.

I want to know about alternative accreditations and more traditional qualifications so that I can choose the right one for my learners.

Reshaping languages contains information on just about every qualification you could wish to consider. Select one of the qualifications themes and you’ll be able to find out what the different features of the accreditations are as well as what other teachers think about them. It will give you the information to make an informed choice.

I can’t find what I’m looking for.
Use the search facility at the top of the page and if you still can’t find it, contact us.
