PPLI is also working with partners to begin the process of upskilling primary teachers in foreign languages in
advance of the introduction of Modern Foreign Languages in the primary curriculum. Post-Primary teachers
continue to be trained in new methodologies in the context of blended learning, online learning and CLIL, in
addition to language specific CPD, all of which is contributing to the development of valuable capacity in our
system.
PPLI continue to devise and promote activities and resources which support the provision of high-quality
education, meeting the needs of, and improving the teaching and learning of foreign languages in general in
schools. Excellent and innovative education and training are essential to delivering a fair society and a strong
economy. In this context it is good to see the alternative models of provision being explored and implemented
by PPLI to provide for students with a diversity of language backgrounds, including online and blended learning.
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to PPLI and all the dedicated educators, administrators, and
stakeholders who have worked tirelessly to support our students in the context of access to foreign languages
education. It is through such collaborative efforts that we can continue to build an education system that meets
the needs of all learners. Your efforts are the cornerstone of our success, and together, we will continue to create
a brighter future for education in Ireland.
Thank you for your continued commitment and support.
