What the PISA FLA means for English language education

This paper, produced in collaboration with the OECD, goes behind the scenes to reveal more about the forthcoming PISA Foreign Language Assessment (FLA).

Learn more about the study itself and how it is shaped by global expertise, and the impact that the results will have on teachers, students, policy-makers and educators in the field of foreign language learning.

Discover how the PISA FLA will:

  • Give the world unprecedented insights into what makes English language teaching and learning effective in school systems around the world – shaping how English is taught
  • Highlight the importance of learning languages, including English, in our globalised world
  • Create an international benchmark of English language proficiency

“The PISA FLA will mark a turning point for English teaching communities around the world, unlocking valuable insights into what makes effective English teaching and learning.”

Dr Angeliki Salamoura, Head of Operational Research, Cambridge University Press & Assessment.
