Abstract: Formal language learning has fallen dramatically in recent years even as the UK has become more diverse. In this report, Megan Bowler from the University of Oxford considers the benefits that learning a language provides and assesses the current state of play in schools and universities. She ends with 10 practical recommendations for rejuvenating the learning of languages -- including classical, modern and heritage languages -- for the benefit of individuals, community cohesion and the economy.
