An interesting article in the Register about the state of language instruction in the UK.
An interesting quote from the article (regarding recent changes to programs) -
Laws laments: "They reduce foreign language study to a functional skill that teaches the sort of thing you find in a 'get by' phrase book. It is selling young people short and is unlikely to inspire anyone to see languages as anything other than mechanical and boring."
