Enacting Plurilingualism: Exploring teachers’ perspectives on the classroom realisation of languages education principles

The principal research questions this study sets out to answer are:
1. How do newly qualified and more established languages teachers link the principles set out in the National Framework for Languages to current and / or future classroom practices?
2. What kind of professional education do they consider most valuable in developing the competences they need to do this effectively?

This study is one of a series to be conducted by staff involved in languages teacher education in HE institutions across Scotland, to investigate ways in which the newly published National Framework for Languages (NFfL) can influence initial teacher education.
