Focus on European Language Teaching

As in previous years the Learning Festival has concentrated on a particular area of teaching and learning.  This year SETT 2005 has developed a European theme which will look more closely at Modern Foreign Languages and how they are taught. This will also consider international links and how these have been developed.
