The Language Trends 2016/17 survey by Teresa Tinsley and Kathryn Board explores the provision of languages in primary and secondary schools in England. The survey covers examination statistics, language teaching in primary schools, provision for languages in secondary schools, language teacher supply and training, and issues of concern for teachers of languages in secondary schools. The survey found that GCSE entries in language subjects and A-level entries in language subjects have decreased, and there is a need for more training and support for language teachers. The survey also found that primary schools are providing less provision for languages, and there is a need for more support for primary language teachers. Overall, the survey highlights the challenges and opportunities in language teaching in England, and the need for more support and resources for language teachers.
