Supporting your school to deliver languages



Primary Hubs

Primary Hubs are a network of support groups for anyone involved in the teaching of languages in primary schools. They are coordinated by volunteers for the Association for Language Learning and are free to attend. The Association for Language Learning (ALL) is the major subject association for those involved in teaching foreign languages at all levels. It provides information and publications; organises professional development activities; acts as a public voice on behalf of members. The cost of membership for a primary school is £50 a year.

ALL Primary Languages Conference Online

Saturday 8th November 2025 via Zoom.

The theme of the conference is 'Excellence for All'. The invited speakers, who are all involved in primary languages education, will give presentations which complement each other on this theme. They include creativity, raising expectations, using AI, CLIL, multilingualism, linguistics, storytelling and decolonising the curriculum. There will be a virtual exhibition of primary languages publishers and resource providers with hopefully a live raffle of amazing prizes. In addition, there will be plenty of opportunity to network in the breakout room sessions, read the informative and lively chat as well as frequent screen breaks. The presentations will be recorded and available until January 2025 to anyone who purchased a ticket.
