WELCOME TO ISMLA
Lastest Posts
ISMLA (the Independent Schools Modern Languages Association) exists to provide a forum for modern language teachers in independent, preparatory and secondary schools to meet, share ideas and contribute to developments in modern language teaching. It also aims to offer support to teachers and departments of modern languages. ISMLA also gives voice to the views of independent school linguists with national bodies such as awarding bodies, Ofqual, the Department for Education and HMC.
See here for more information about ISMLA’s activities and reasons for joining.
