British Council Scotland will welcome registered guests to the inaugural launch of Language Trends Scotland on Monday 3 February.

Language Trends Scotland is an in-depth survey for all primary and secondary schools across the country. The research provides an independent overview of the learning and teaching of modern languages in Scotland. The Language Trends series highlights general shifts in data and seeks to provide a springboard for teachers, school leaders, academics, inspectors, policymakers, school pupils, and the public to consider aspects of language learning more deeply.
British Council Scotland is delighted that many primary, secondary and independent schools across Scotland participated in the survey and looks forward to sharing the results.
Language Trends Scotland joins a suite of language trends research conducted across the UK, contributing to a wealth of data that spans over two decades, offering unique insights into the evolution of language education across the UK.
