Innovative secondary language projects

Languages and humanities
The European Language Label recognises innovation in the teaching of languages across the continent. This year, seven UK secondary projects were among the winners. Imke Djouadj and Eva Oliver take a look.

A total of 10 education projects from across England and Wales have been awarded this year’s European Language Label, which recognises innovative and effective practice in language teaching and learning. 

The awards were presented at a ceremony at the European Commission’s UK office in London earlier this term and included seven secondary-based projects. 

The European Language Label is part of a Europe-wide programme, funded by the European Commission. To date, more than 1,500 projects in 30 European countries have been recognised for an award, 180 of them within the UK. Kathryn Board, head of languages strategy and delivery at CfBT Education Trust, which manages the UK side of the initiative, said that this year’s winners “raised the bar in terms of imagination, passion for languages and achievement”.
