CLIE: A Historical Overview of Language Education Collaboration in the UK

The archives of CLIE, established from the LAGB/BAAL seminar in 1978, reveal essential milestones in language education collaboration in the UK. Key activities include the formation of the Language Steering Committee and extensive consultations responding to national needs in English and foreign language education. Despite significant gaps in documented minutes, CLIE continues to unify the voices from various language organizations, promote policy influence, and foster an inclusive approach to literacy across multiple languages. We invite contributions to fill the archival gaps!
