Organising a school language exchange program is a long and time consuming process for teachers. It is usually an activity that must be coordinated on a volunteer basis, outside of school hours, by dedicated teachers. The logistical and bureaucratic issues that teachers must now overcome to organise a successful language exchange program have contributed to a decline in the number of schools offering a language exchange program. This decline has alarmed the British Council, who see the enormous benefit which such programs provide to a child’s learning experience.

Lingoo is a community website, dedicated to improving language learning for children and teenagers. We accomplish this primarily by facilitating language exchange holidays, or establishing connections for parents to pay for their child to stay with a host family in a foreign country. Lingoo allows parents to get in contact with like-minded families, who have children of the same age, and who have the same interests and values.

The start of the 2014/2015 academic year marks a change in the way in which languages are taught in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. The start of term will see the teaching of languages becoming a compulsory part of the primary curriculum for the first time. This means that children aged between seven and eleven will be required to reach a high standard of written and verbal communication in a foreign language.
