'We're not teaching them to order baguettes' - languages enjoy a renaissance in schools
A modern foreign languages mentoring program in Wales, led by Cardiff University, is reversing declining language uptake by focusing on cultural exposure and identity rather than traditional grammar and vocabulary. The approach has increased GCSE language entries by 3.6% in 2023-24 and 9.6% in 2024-25, with one school seeing participation rise from 23% to over 40%.
