Do you want to learn more languages at school?

Do you find yourself tongue-tied if someone speaks to you in French or Spanish? Would you like to be able to speak another language?

Two in three (67%) primary school children say they would like to spend more time at school learning a language, a survey has found.

According to the British Council charity, French is the language most children said they were learning at school, followed by Spanish, British Sign Language, German and Italian.

Bernardette Holmes, director of the National Consortium for Languages Education, said: "Children have spoken and we are listening. Primary pupils enjoy learning languages and want to do more of it."

So, do you learn any languages at school?

The survey found nearly seven in 10 (69%) children said they would like to keep learning a language when they are older and can choose their subjects at school.

The majority of children in the survey (85%) said they find learning a language at school fun.

But although children at primary school want more time focused on languages, the number of younger students opting to do a GCSE or A level in German or French is dropping.

Nearly three in four of the 2,000 children aged seven to 11 surveyed, said they have not had the chance to be in contact with pupils from a school in another country.

More than two in five (43%) children also said their parents speak another language at home.

British Council schools adviser Vicky Gough said children's early enthusiasm for languages must be encouraged so they carry on studying languages at GCSE: "Pupils need to be given more opportunities to communicate and build relationships internationally, so that language learning can feel real, relevant and exciting, giving learners a clear purpose for using their skills."
