Community Languages
The remarkable linguistic diversity of the UK, reflecting our complex history, includes speakers of the indigenous languages and also of the languages of our main Asian, European and Afro-Caribbean communities as well as hundreds of smaller groups of speakers of other languages. Yet the multilingual talents of UK citizens are under-recognised, under-used and all too often viewed with suspicion. Our aims must be to recognise the opportunities offered by this multilingual wealth, ensure that talent is nurtured in future generations and meet the linguistic and cultural needs of individuals and communities.
Languages: the next generation. The final report and recommendations of the Nuffield Languages Inquiry (2000)
There have been encouraging developments in this area over recent years and CILT have been developing their website as a means of building on these. The links below will take you to various sections on the CILT community languages pages.
