The Specification for Modern Foreign Languages aims to enable students to explore the interdependence between language and culture, to develop their appreciation of the relevance of languages to their lives for personal, social, educational, vocational and leisure purposes, and to derive enjoyment from language learning. This workshop gives an insight into what this means in practice for teachers, students and parents. Facilitated by Elisabeth Butler and Clíodhna McManamon, Advisors with Junior Cycle for Teachers (JCT)
