Abstract

In 2003, the Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies was commissioned by the Nuffield Languages Steering Group to explore post-16 language provision. Describing itself as “a wake up call” the report A New Landscape for Languages (Kelly and Jones 2003) found that the long term trends identified by the Nuffield Languages Inquiry just three years earlier had intensified. New Landscape predicted that even greater changes were likely in the following five years. Using the most recent statisitc Five years on revisits the orginal report.
