The Comenius network will finish on 31st March, bringing to an end 17 years of support and collaboration in the region. Links into Languages, a consortium commissioned by DCSF to establish a new network of regional support services for Languages, will begin activities in April 2009. Support, as always, will be available from CILT, the National Centre for Languages and the good news is that Leicestershire County Council, who have hosted Comenius throughout its time in the region, have agreed to keep the centre in Quorn open as the Leicestershire Languages Centre.(www.leics.gov.uk/languagescentre from April 1st). Final consultation events on the Diploma in Languages and International Communication Events in April and May organised by QCA will give stakeholders a final chance to have their say on the newly titled Diploma in Languages and International Communication. The title has been changed following extensive research with students and employers in particular which showed it to be a better reflection of the learning involved and more appealing to these key groups. Consultation now focuses on the draft Line of Learning Criteria which will be used by awarding bodies to develop qualification specifications. They also help further and higher education institutions, employers and other stakeholders understand what has been studied and assessed. The criteria are based on the Line of Learning Statement, a description of the learning content, which was developed after consultation events in February. Dates and venues for events are as follows 28 May - East Midlands - Nottingham Conference Centre Find out more in the events area of the Diploma website (http://www.diploma-in-languages.co.uk/index.php/events_intro/3/9) or by contacting QCA directly. Please note that you must register with QCA in order to attend.
