Foreign Languages in Ireland’s Higher Education: From Attitudes to Action

Join us in person or online.

Drawing on research from six Higher Education Institutions, the event will explore students’ motivation, engagement and barriers to learning foreign languages, as well as the perceived value of languages for future careers. A panel discussion will consider the findings and their implications for supporting foreign language learning, shaping institutional practice, and informing policy.

Come and join the conversation about the future of languages in Higher Education.
