Schools

Working with its many partners, Speak to the Future seeks to support language learning in primary, secondary and supplementary schools. There are different challenges in different schools and for different reasons, but by keeping informed and by sharing ideas across our networks, we can support one another and keep ourselves and our learners motivated.
