An investigation into the impact and effectiveness of beginning and early career primary teachers trained on a work-based learning route in the delivery of primary languages at Key Stage 2

This is the final report from an ESCalate-funded project led by Vivienne Griffiths of Canterbury Christ Church University looking at beginning and early career primary teachers trained on a work-based learning route.

The project investigated the effectiveness of early career teachers trained on the Graduate Teacher Programme in delivering primary languages and identify factors which affect language learning and teaching. Findings will help enhance primary language training teaching and professional development and produce new training and teaching resources for primary languages.
