The image many of us may have of a language teacher is someone drilling a classroom full of teenagers in the finer points of French or German grammar in a way not self-evidently relevant to the outside world.
But the past decade has seen big changes to the way language teaching is organised and delivered in English schools.(1)
The age range of pupils where language teaching is compulsory has shifted downwards.
Now, all children start learning a foreign language, albeit gradually, when they’re just seven and continue until they’re 14. Previously the compulsory age range was between 11 and 16.

At the same time, the methods of language teaching have become much more targeted towards enabling young people to communicate in the spoken word rather than to get every single dot and comma correct in the written form.
And the range of languages taught in schools has expanded enormously. Spanish, French and German remain the most popular choices, but Italian, Russian, Mandarin, Urdu, Bengali and a host of others are also taught in an increasing number of classrooms.(3)
So, for the graduate or native speaker of almost any world language, a career as a school teacher is a realistic and attractive prospect. And it’s one being followed by large numbers every year.
Last September, around 1,700 graduates started one-year Postgraduate Certificate in Education(PGCE)training courses to become foreign language teachers in secondary schools, each offering competence in at least two foreign languages, French and Spanish being the most common.
And there are now increasing numbers of training to become primary teachers with a language specialism, a training route introduced three years ago.(4)
Here, trainees prepare to handle all subjects across the timetable, as well as to develop an additional expertise in introducing foreign language learning to pupils.
Around 3,000 students have embarked on this route so far, most of whom are now working in primary schools.
(5)
The embedding of language teaching in primary schools—a process which is still far from complete—has also created more localised links between teachers across the primary-secondary divide, as primary schools make use of the greater expertise in nearby secondary staffrooms.
This has, in turn, introduced enrichment and variety to many experienced secondary teachers. Gne such example is Greg Horton, an advanced skills language teacher at Wildern School, a co-educational comprehensive, in Hampshire, who now frequently visits local primary schools to support teachers in language lessons.

同时,语言教学的方法更趋于让年幼的学生用口语交流,而不是在书写格式上确保每一个句号和逗号都准确无误。
