Calling all Scottish primary and secondary school teachers!

Following the findings of our second annual Language Trends Scotland report, we're inviting all Scottish primary and secondary schools to take part in the 2026-27 survey and help us build a clearer picture of language education across the country.

Last year's survey revealed:

  • Ninety-nine per cent of responding primary schools taught languages in the 2025-26 academic year.
  • One fifth of primary schools embedded languages in their daily routines and across the curriculum.
  • The two biggest challenges for primary languages were teacher confidence in language pedagogy and finding time in the curriculum.
  • Sixty-three per cent of responding local authority secondary schools reported that all S1 learners studied more than one language, up from 52 per cent in 2024-25.
  • More than 60 per cent of schools ran multi-level classes, and 55 per cent ran bi-level classes in S4. Teachers highlighted the challenges of this approach, but many viewed it as the only way to maintain language provision.
  • Thirty-eight per cent of schools with Higher and/or Advanced Higher provision offered Edinburgh College language classes.
  • Contrary to the wider UK trend, German continued to be well supported in Scottish independent schools.

It takes just 15 minutes to complete.

Deadline: 2 October 2026.

There are separate surveys for primary, local authority secondary, and independent secondary schools.

19 August 2026 (Belfast Telegraph)

A Queen’s University expert in modern languages has said a decision to drop German from GCSE and A-level qualifications is “sending the wrong message to students”.

Last night, exams body CCEA confirmed it would be dropping GCSEs in Contemporary Crafts; Economics; Engineering and Manufacturing; Leisure, Travel and Tourism, German and Learning for Life and Work (LLW).

Dr Ian Collen, reader in modern languages education at the university, has started an online petition urging exams body CCEA to rethink the decision, with engineering also set to disappear from the schedule by the end of the decade.

The final cohort will commence their course in September 2028, with the final award offered in Summer 2030 and one further resit opportunity.

Dr Ian Collen said dropping German “jeopardises the linguistic and cultural diversity in Northern Ireland’s education system”.

14 August 2026 (Harpers Bazaar)

Modern and Ancient languages have had an image problem for a while. As we experience a technology-led industrial revolution, Stem subjects have remained ever popular. Forty six per cent of all A-Level exams taken in 2025 were Stem related, while a 2025 report by the Higher Education Policy Institute uncovered a ‘catastrophic’ decline in language learning: there have been more A-Level entries for physical education than for French, German and the classical languages combined. Cardiff University's modern-languages department has halved in size and, last November, the University of Nottingham put forward proposals to stop offering language degrees, reflecting the perception that job opportunities are dwindling for those without science-based qualifications.

Yet our workforce may be underestimating the skills acquired by those able to master languages.

HEPI has just published two blogposts concerning languages and language education in the UK. Follow the appropriate link for more information:

13 August 2026 (The Conversation)

Exam-entry statistics in the summer tend to prompt debates about the future of language learning in the UK. These are often framed around languages being in crisis: fewer young people study languages than two decades ago, and concerns persist about the UK’s linguistic capacity in an interconnected world.

The emerging figures for 2026 reinforce some of those concerns. But they also show a more complex picture than a simple narrative of decline. Language learning is changing unevenly, with growth in some places, fragility in many others, and important questions about which languages, learners and pathways are being valued.

11 August 2026 (The Conversation)

Invented languages tend to be the stuff of fantasy or science fiction worlds. But as a child, you may have made one up yourself.

Take Pig Latin, which involves moving the starting consonant of a word to the end and adding an “-ay” sound. “Pig Latin” thus becomes “ig-pay atin-lay”, while words beginning with a vowel have a “-way” at the end. With a little practice, you can hold entire conversations in Pig Latin.

However, creating new forms of communication goes far beyond children’s games or brain exercises. Throughout history, people have invented or adapted languages – whether out of necessity, creativity, or scientific interest.

The process of creating a language can also offer a window onto how our brains work. From the code-speak of children’s games to “miniature” languages designed in laboratories, all new forms of communication reveal something about our ability to learn and adopt new rules.

An accessibility project is set to launch at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, bringing a new British Sign Language (BSL) experience to deaf visitors.

When the Garden’s historic Palm Houses reopen following restoration later this year, visitors will be able to access a series of short BSL videos explaining botanical terms through engaging stories about plant life.

The films are believed to be the first of their kind at any botanic garden in the UK.

Developed in partnership with the Scottish Sensory Centre’s BSL team at the University of Edinburgh, the project aims to tackle the lack of botanical vocabulary in British Sign Language.

24 July 2026 (Times Higher Education)

Modern languages classrooms are often multilingual spaces. These are familiar to me as a Spanish language teacher at a UK institution; not all my students are native English speakers. However, I view this as a strength; my classrooms are rich environments where linguistic and cultural identities are valued and celebrated. This approach can not only maximise learning but build sought-after skills that set students apart in a volatile job market.

Through their engagement with different perspectives, students learn to negotiate meaning and approach problems creatively and, in the process, improve their adaptability, time management, leadership and communication skills, and cultural awareness.

Although teaching multilingual groups is not without its challenges, a handful of strategies that draw on the benefits of linguistic diversity can make a difference.

Learning another language could slow ageing in the brain by up to 13 years, according to research.

People who speak more than one language seem to have younger brains and the more languages you speak and the earlier you speak them, the better, according to findings from a study being presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies conference in Barcelona.

The study found that those who spoke two languages had brains that appeared around six years younger than those who spoke only one language. People who spoke three languages had brains that appeared around seven years younger, and for those who spoke four languages, their brains appeared about 13 years younger.

Cutting language courses at universities and schools risks undermining social mobility and vocational skills, former education secretaries and experts in the UK have warned.

More than 70 languages academics were among 500 staff at the University of Exeter to be told last week they were at risk of redundancy as it seeks to cut 150 full-time posts, predominantly in the humanities. The announcement followed the proposal by the University of Nottingham to become the first Russell Group university to offer no language degrees.

The cuts come against a backdrop of increasingly difficult university finances and years of falling GCSE and A-level entries, which have exacerbated inequalities. Languages are now compulsory for all pupils at GCSE in only 22% of state secondaries, compared with 41% of independent schools, according to this year’s Language Trends survey.

26 June 2026 (SAHA)

On Friday, 26 June, the Scottish Arts and Humanities Alliance (SAHA) unveiled its latest report, Languages in a Global Scotland. It was produced by SAHA’s Languages Working Group, chaired by Professor Catherine O’Leary, and draws on expertise from across the Scottish higher education sector. The report argues that languages and intercultural studies are key to the creation of a Global Scotland for the benefit of all.

The document has three main aims:

  • to provide an overview of the current position of languages education in Scotland
  • to outline the challenges and opportunities of language education for an increasingly multilingual Scotland in a globally interconnected world
  • to make recommendations for language and cultural education to help Scotland achieve its full potential
