Modern Foreign Languages

Training and Development Agency for Schools

The term is used in a language education context (in high schools, secondary schools, colleges and universities) to distinguish between languages such as French or Russian, which are still spoken by millions of people and are often learned for their usefulness as tools of communication, and classical languages such as Attic Greek or Classical Chinese, which are studied for their cultural or linguistic value, rather than for any practical purpose.

Modern Foreign Languages in the UK

Modern Foreign Languages (often abbreviated to MFL) is a compulsory component in the state education system in the United Kingdom. At least one language (often French) is studied until the end of Key Stage 4. Particular schools may require younger students to study other additional languages, and they may be given the option to continue these. Schools are required to teach a programme of languages according to local and national guidelines.
