Francesca Pini is the founder of Language Angels. As well as writing all the Language Angels materials, she works alongside her husband Paolo managing the Language Angels team. Together they support an ever-growing number of schools around the country, aiding their staff to embed and sustain foreign languages in their schools using Language Angels as their primary teaching tool. Importantly she still teaches languages in a London secondary school and currently holds the title of Teaching and Learning Mentor. Paolo & Francesca regularly speak at conferences and present webinars on primary language teaching - most recently focussing on assessment and progression in the primary foreign languages Programme of Study.

At Language Angels we want to ensure every child at primary school has a real opportunity to learn a foreign language, irrespective of where they live, dwindling school budgets and lack of subject specialism. We all know these are not ideal conditions but we continue to prove it can be done and done well. We are adamant that, together with the brilliant primary school teachers we have in this country, we can reverse previous trends of poor foreign language acquisition and produce the excellent and committed linguists our country so desperately requires and deserves.

Together we will build solid language learning foundations at primary level so a passion for languages and subsequent linguistic success will follow. If you would like further information, please feel free to contact Francesca ([email protected]) or Paolo ([email protected]) directly.
