このコンテンツについて
In this episode, I’m joined by Darren Paffey Mp - newly elected MP for Southampton Itchen and one of the very few members of Parliament with a serious background in language education. Before his move into politics, Darren was an Associate Professor of Spanish and Linguistics at the University of Southampton, a city councillor, and a longstanding advocate for inclusive, multilingual education.
We discuss:
The current state of language learning in UK schools
What real policy change could look like
How accountability systems shape (or strangle) curriculum
The potential of AI in the classroom
What Darren misses about academia—and what he’s learning on the green benches
This is a conversation about education, policy, identity, and why languages are far more than just a school subject. Darren brings both lived experience and political insight to the table - and doesn’t shy away from tough questions.
