About Us
Bangor University, with funding from the Welsh Government, is the North Wales hub supporting schools’ implementation of International Languages in the curriculum.
We have a team of experienced language practitioners for both the primary and secondary sectors. Our aim is to assist with the planning, delivery, and development of International Languages in North Wales. We aim to work directly with schools to address specific challenges arising in International Languages provision, targeting areas identified as barriers to successful curriculum delivery and the need for tailored Professional Learning.
Who Do We Work With?
Primary and Secondary School Teachers, Learning Support Staff, Heads of Departments, Leadership Teams and Headteachers and all other stakeholders at regional and national levels.

- Planning and developing international languages provision.
- Implementation of Curriculum for Wales Languages, Literacy and Communication (LLC).
