In: Plutino, A and Polisca, E, (eds.) Languages at work, competent multilinguals and the pedagogical challenges of COVID-19. Research-publishing.net , pp. 105-111. ISBN 9782490057832
Abstract
This contribution reflects on some of the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced for languages in Higher Education (HE). In particular, two areas are discussed: the delivery of teaching and learning activities, including assessments, and the year abroad. These two areas, on which the enforced move to online provision has had a significant impact, are central to many UK languages degrees. The piece discusses challenges, responses, and unresolved issues. All in all, it aims to offer a positive view for the future of the sector by highlighting particularly the spirit of collegiality that has developed during the pandemic across different HE institutions and national organisations.
