Abstract or Description

Consistent with the goal to pass on heritage to the
next generation, teachers of community languages
always build a strong cultural focus into their
teaching. This often includes an arts dimension,
such as work around festivals and traditional tales.
This article, based on qualitative research in four
London schools in 2009-10, explores different
ways of incorporating an arts focus into
community language teaching and the importance
such work has for the children’s learning and
confidence.
