Summary

Born Global is an open and free-to-use resource for the languages community: universities, teachers, employers, researchers, and students.


We have collected data, both quantitative and qualitative, on the complex relationships between language learning and employability.


All the data is published in full on the Born Global project page, and each data set is accompanied by a booklet with background information and a summary of key findings. We invite the language community to use our evidence to help make the case for the importance of languages – from teaching at primary school right through to university research.


The Academy has used this evidence in its own report, Born Global: Implications for Higher Education, offering some reflections on the current state of play for languages at university.
