Reigniting their love of MFL

Languages and humanities
A new initiative is encouraging schools to combine language teaching with the teaching of other key subjects. Suzi Bewell takes a look at the immersion approach to MFL.

The Association for Language Learning (ALL) has set up FLAME, a new initiative to support CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and bilingual learning.

FLAME stands for “Future for Language as a Medium of Education” and was launched in January. It aims to support the many ways that teachers are combining languages with other subjects, whether bringing subject topics into language lessons, teaching subject modules, or teaching one or more whole subjects through a language other than English. FLAME plans to:

Bring together people with a shared interest in bilingual learning.

Help teachers to collaborate and share ideas.

Provide valuable information and advice for schools.
