Languages Roundtable on Higher Education (Irish Humanities Alliance and One Voice for Languages)
September 21, 2015, UCC
The aim of the Languages Roundtable was to identify common positions amongst Higher Education academics regarding the forthcoming Department of Education and Skills Foreign Languages Strategy, and draft a position paper that can be utilised for advocacy and policy purposes. The importance of a national languages strategy is increasingly important in the context of the recent recommendations by the Task Group on Reform of University Selection and Entry regarding abandoning the NUI third language matriculation. The format was three roundtable sessions focusing on: Skills Shortages, CEFR and Employability of Languages Graduates.
