=Lunch 1b: What do KS2 children think about primary languages? Findings from research= == ====Dr. Cynthia Martin is a researcher and senior lecturer at the University of Reading and has been involved in research in primary languages since 1989. She was a member of the team which undertook the Longitudinal Study into Key Stage 2 Language Learning between 2006-2009 for the then DCSF. Cynthia is also currently Past President - an honorary role! - of the Association for Language Learning (ALL), the national membership organisation for all languages teachers. She also loves creating materials and working practically with teachers and student teachers.====

==In this session Cynthia will briefly summarise what primary children in Years 3-6 in the case study schools thought about learning a language at key stage 2 and discuss both the positive findings and some areas which we need to consider as we continue to take primary languages further.==
