Universal CPD Module 6

The Intercultural Dimension
Culturally-rich contexts for language learning

Global Britain needs more and better language skills. In our globalised economy, language skills and intercultural understanding add value and widen opportunities for individuals, communities and society.

To fulfil this potential, we must leverage the value of all our languages by providing high quality language teaching in schools, better recognising and supporting the rich diversity of languages in addition to English spoken by a fifth of pupils in our schools.

This module will offer research-informed perspectives as you ensure that all learners develop their intercultural understanding and nurture their cultural agility.

“… to enhance not just the multilingual capacities of our pupils but also intercultural literacy and intercultural competency.”

Professor Li Wei, 2023
