The 'ITT primary languages' project is a shared initiative between the Teacher Training Agency of England, the Ministère de l'Education Nationale, the Baden-Württemberg Government in Germany and the Ministerio de Educación in Spain, supported by CILT, the National Centre for Languages. The Project has brought together higher education institutions in the four countries with the common purpose of providing teacher training for the primary sector, which includes an element of teaching a foreign language. Each university has been partnered with institutions in the partner countries, allowing the exchange of ideas between students and trainers as well as the opportunity to spend a period abroad in the partner country as part of the training.
