As LSP Co-Editors, @emhumps.bsky.social and I want to thank you all for reading and engaging with this Special Collection. Catch up with all the pieces here: www.lspjournal.com/post/languag...

We are grateful to our Guest Editors @wendya-b.bsky.social & @cforsdick.bsky.social for their leadership of the collection and each valued contributor who took time to communicate their insights. Big thanks to LSP team Petre Breazu, Nina Haket & Marco Fioratti for work on publication & promotion.

Across the collection, evidence points to potential for stronger partnerships in developing creative & innovative solutions to strengthen the languages pipeline. Inclusion also features strongly. Ultimately, policy & practice must work to benefit the full diversity of language learners & speakers.

These pieces showcase vibrancy in research & scholarship on languages, demonstrate dedication to innovative practice in languages education, & draw out explicit learning for policy or practice to enhance support for the diversity of languages taught, learnt and used across the UK at all levels.

At LSP, we value the chance to learn from the expertise & insights of excellent researchers & practitioners who contributed to this special collection. Their work enables us to identify & understand areas of best practice & persistent challenges with Languages Education in the UK. www.lspjournal.com
