The remit of the initiative to promote and develop the provision and quality of Modern Foreign Language teaching and learning in the Primary sector. The ELL bulletin is a newsletter providing updated information on progress and developments in the initiative.
Back copies are available online.
An online searchable database of resources plus CILT Information sheets provide information on resources for young learners of languages. CILT primary conferences continue to expand for the primary sector, including courses abroad. There have been additions to the Young Pathfinder and ResourceFile methodology series which cover many different aspects of primary language teaching. The Good Practice Project investigated the key issues surrounding ELL and although the findings of the project are confidential you can read reports from the projects involved. To encourage the production of new high quality materials and to highlight the availability of existing early language learning materials for teachers, the ELL initiative has devised a system of ' badging ' or describing products which meet certain criteria and address particular issues.
