Abstract
This article considers the development and impact of the National Language Standards (NLS) since the formation of the Languages Lead Body (now Languages National Training Organisation) ten years ago. There has been little discussion in the literature of this significant development and this article is intended to begin the process. It also describes research conducted in FE colleges and makes a number of observations. This paper does not attempt to critically analyse the NLS against theoretical questions of foreign language teaching and learning. This remains an important research issue to be addressed.
