The Department for Children, Schools and Families has announced that leading educational software provider RM will deliver the Open School for Languages.

The Open School for Languages (OSfL) is a £6 million project which will make available online in a highly imaginative way a range of materials in different languages, with content designed to engage learners, both independently and in the classroom. The service will also support new developments in the secondary languages curriculum.

CILT will convene an advisory group for the OSfL and will engage in a sophisticated marketing campaign to bring the project to the attention of schools and students. Other major partners include the Cambridge University Language Centre and the University of Salford.

Anyone interested in contributing to the development of the Open School for Languages is invited to participate in an online survey about the new project.
