Abstract

Back in 2014, the Language Centre of the University of Glasgow was incorporated into the School of Modern Languages and Cultures and became its Modern Foreign Languages Unit. It was decided that the MFL team focus on credit-bearing courses for undergraduate students and on a small range of LSP modules; a working group which included MFL, Short Courses and Confucius Institute staff members devised a university-wide Language Strategy, with the aim of increasing foreign language uptake among all undergraduates. Nearly 8 years on, what achievements and challenges has the MFL Unit met? Have we become 'more sustainable' and can therefore feel optimistic about the future?
