University Council for Languages (UCFL)

Description

The University Council For Languages (UCFL) was established in 1993. Before 2023, the organisation was called the University Council of Modern Languages (UCML). It represents the views and opinions of scholars and professionals in modern languages and cognate disciplines to Government, the funding councils and other bodies at national level. It also collects and disseminates information about the state of study, research and teaching of modern languages and cognate disciplines in the United Kingdom. In addition, it provides a forum for debate on issues of concern to its members through meetings, working parties, discussions, conferences, seminars and publications and presents the case for languages in the media.
