Are you a primary languages teacher or do you work with a primary colleague trying to introduce and develop primary languages?
Yes? Then the Association for Language Learning (ALL) offers a great primary group membership package for just £50 per year.
We have just revitalised the ALL website and wanted to draw attention to the Primary tab on our home page. Aimed specifically at primary language teachers, there is advice and guidance, as well as primary news, resources and product reviews. We also highlight the many additional collections and features which you can access when you join us, to keep you informed, inspired and challenged.
Are you interested in what ALL offers Primary Group or Individual Members?
For an overview of benefits for members and ways in which you can develop your own experience and practice further by engaging with ALL, please read our Primary membership flyer
You can use the primary membership flyer to make the case for ALL membership to your senior management team, or to remind other colleagues about the benefits of belonging, once you have signed up.
The easiest way to join our subject community is online. Find out more about joining the Association here.

“Being a member of ALL means that I am always up-to-date with what is happening in the world of languages. The weekly email updates provide a wealth of information about all aspects of language learning which I would never have known about. I love hearing the ‘Languages Today’ magazine drop through my letter box as this means that there will be plenty of interesting articles to read over the next few days. It is a professionally produced magazine and it is in colour. I like to attend the ‘Language World’ conference each year, if I can, as this is a fantastic opportunity to access excellent CPD seminars. There is a reduced price for members which is most welcome.” Sue Cave,Primary MFL Specialist Teacher and Consultant, Cave Languages
“ALL has been part of my life throughout my career in education – as a classroom teacher, curriculum leader, primary languages consultant, adviser and inspector and teacher-trainer. In each and every one of these roles, I have appreciated the generous sharing of good practice and expertise which has been so readily available from our professional community. When working today with trainee teachers or primary languages colleagues, I always direct them to our association as the essential go-to source for the very best up-to-date information and support. It is vitally important that all of us who are passionate about the value of language learning can feel confident that we have a voice to truly fly the flag for languages. Thank you ALL.” Liz Lord, Unit Coordinator and Tutor for MFL and ITT undergraduate degree course
at University of Portsmouth and ALL Portsmouth Primary Hub Leader
“When I joined ALL, I had left my position as a secondary teacher and struck out on my own as a primary languages specialist. Membership keeps me in touch with current news and developments in language teaching and also introduces me to like-minded language teachers all over the country with whom I share and network. Being an ALL member has definitely made me a more confident practitioner!” Clare Seccombe, Teacher of French and Spanish in Sunderland primary schools and Languages Consultant. Clare is a member of ALL Council and the Primary Special Interest Group
“I joined ALL on qualifying in 1995. ALL materials are always spot-on in supporting my practice, and in helping me to develop languages in my schools. Local CPD offered by branches is always of an excellent calibre and Language World remains excellent value for money in terms of networking, information and inspiration! I have been given career opportunities through ALL, working with a fabulous group of practitioners across the country on a DFE project. This allowed me to share and develop good practice, meet other teachers who inspire and also helped develop my own career into training, ITT and now Primary Languages as an SLE. ALL takes the lead in representing language teachers, and their volunteers running branches and hubs are key to this. My Primary Hub welcomes teachers from across the borough who would otherwise be isolated in their roles in school. This voluntary role allows me to give back a little to ALL and ensure its continuation.” Sara Vaughan, PL Leader – Westdene School & TSA, Chair ALL Sussex
