The Sir Robert Taylor Society is a network of Modern Languages Teachers and members of the Medieval and Modern Languages Faculty at the University of Oxford. As part of the Modern Languages Schools Liaison initiative, we provide links between Higher Education institutions and schools in both the state and independent sectors.
Our next conference will be held in Pembroke College on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th September 2015. Highlights of the programme include a round table to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, a session on Modernism, a lecture to commemorate the 750th anniversary of Dante, and a performance of Chastity on the Verge.
Our annual conference takes place each September and offers teachers an opportunity to engage with academics in an Oxford setting, further their awareness of new research in the subject, and develop relationships with other MFL departments in their regions, as well as on a national scale. It also allows Oxford academics to improve their understanding of teaching practices in secondary schools. We believe the conference is an invaluable forum for discussion about undergraduate admissions procedures.
