TCs do not relate specifically to the learning of languages or any school subject but are relevant across the spectrum of all subjects in school curricula. Together with the foregrounding of plurilingual approaches and mediation arising from the Council of Europe initiatives, this focus on TCs is having an impact on school curricula for a range of different subjects, including foreign language education. 

 

The Think Tank will bring together language professionals working in this area to review and explore ways in which learners’ TCs may be developed as part of foreign language education and how teachers and future teachers can be supported in this task. Participants will also be invited to suggest ways in which these ideas may be channelled into a follow-up project.
