LATCOF: Lessons from a secondary/sixth-form - HE consultative forum for language teachers

Jocelyn Wyburd and Elinor Chicken and John Doherty - 11 January 2005

The University of Manchester has hosted a forum for dialogue between tertiary and secondary language teachers to share pedagogic and curricular experiences and realities with the aim of facilitating student progression and bridging the secondary-tertiary 'gaps'. Participants have been surveyed to assess the impact of the dialogue process on them and their practice and to start to identify issues of broader relevance to the sector as a whole. This paper reports the experience of participants and responses to the survey.
