Addressing the cultural capital chasm in language learning: The Late Show with Darren Lester and Pearson Schools

Darren Lester hosts a broad discussion around bridging the cultural gap in language learning. Darren asks why is there a cultural capital chasm and why does it exist? What are the implications of this on learners now and in the future? How can languages become more accessible and inclusive for learners (regardless of their background, ability or reason for studying) What are the practical steps schools, awarding bodies and others can take to bridge the gap?

Darren is joined by an expert panel that includes:

Fiona Pryce - Pearson MFL product manager

Katy Lewis - Head of qualifications and curriculum for Pearson

Adam Lamb - Subject Lead in a UK State School for MFL

Olga Pelaez Alvarez - Profesora en la Eoi de Tarazona (Zaragoza, Spain)
