A series of five programmes
Without the national pressure which some countries feel to learn foreign languages, teachers in comprehensive schools have, themselves, to create motivation and enthusiasm for language learning. They must then sustain this commitment when the pupils realise that to learn a foreign language is hard work. This series looks at a number of language departments where interesting work is being developed and where teachers and pupils appear to have a common sense of direction.
An inner-city comprehensive of 11,000 pupils aged 13-18 with mixed ability throughout the language department.
