HC Deb 10 November 1987 vol 122 c111W
Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is his Department's policy on the use of satellites in the teaching of modern languages.

Mrs. Rumbold

We encourage school teachers to make creative use of authentic foreign language materials, including sound recordings and broadcasts. The Council for Educational Technology is also currently examining the potential of satellite broadcasting for enhancing the primary and secondary curriculum, including the teaching of modern languages.
