Registration is now open for the Sir Robert Taylor Society's annual conference which provides a unique forum for interaction between Oxford's Medieval and Modern Languages Faculty and teachers of MFL in secondary schools and colleges. A number of 90% bursaries are available for travel and attendance for teachers from state schools/colleges.

Teachers will be able to hear about and discuss new research in their field, the admissions procedure at Oxford, and our approach to the teaching of language and literature.

This year’s exciting programme of talks focuses on major authors including Kafka and Stendhal as well as less well-known areas such as Brazil's Favela culture. We have the great pleasure of welcoming Baroness Gillian Shephard, former minister of Education and herself a modern linguist, as our guest speaker at the conference dinner. There will also be a special guided visit of the Taylor Institution Library and some of its treasures.
