Language Trends is an annual survey of primary and secondary schools in England, designed to gather information about the situation for language teaching and learning. Since 2015 there has also been an annual survey in Wales, and since 2019 a biennial survey in Northern Ireland. The first survey in Scotland was in 2024. The Language Trends series shows general shifts in data and seeks to provide a springboard for teachers, school leaders, academics, inspectors, policy makers, school pupils and the public to consider aspects of language learning more deeply.
