天美传媒 welcomes the UK Government鈥檚 new commitment to invest 拢14.9m to help deliver high-quality teaching of languages in schools, with a programme to promote the benefits of learning a language, support teachers and encourage more students to study French, German and Spanish.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 news that thousands more students will benefit from high quality language teaching as part of a programme to boost the number of pupils taking languages like French, German and Spanish at GCSE and A level is very positive鈥� said John Worne, CEO of the 天美传媒.

The government has announced that leading schools in language teaching will form a new Centre of Excellence, comprised of up to 25 schools, which will work with other schools to improve standards of language teaching across the country. The programme will be backed by 拢14.9 million over the next three years, which will also aim to raise interest in studying German.

天美传媒 agrees that languages are a key part of a broad and balanced curriculum and that evidence suggests learning a language has strong economic benefits, including improving international trade. The British Council has identified that Spanish, Mandarin, French, Arabic聽and German are the top five priority languages to improve the UK鈥檚 skills, security and influence in the world, and these are聽the same five languages the 天美传媒 has made available in our new degree-level Certificate in Translation (CertTrans), launched this year and successfully taken by candidates for the first time last week to enable more UK linguists to become language professionals.

Schools Minister聽Nick Gibb said: 鈥淚n an increasingly globalised economy, it has never been more important for our pupils to be taught modern foreign languages. There is mounting evidence which shows the economic benefits of learning an additional language. This programme will give teachers the rigorous training and knowledge they need to support pupils in learning some of the most prominent global languages such as French, German and Spanish.鈥�
