Progression in Primary Languages: https://research.reading.ac.uk/progression-primary-languages/
The Progression in Primary Languages project is a four-year, longitudinal study exploring language learning in primary school. We are working with primary schools across England, who teach French, German, or Spanish, to track children's linguistic progression throughout Key Stage 2 (age 7 to 11). Over four years, we will build a detailed picture of how children’s language knowledge develops and the individual and contextual factors that affect children’s language learning. The project is funded through a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship.
