The CLEC Programme is a collaborative initiative between the University of Auckland and the Center for Language Education and Cooperation of the Chinese Ministry of Education.

Language Circle announced its official launch as a national organisation dedicated to supporting educators, school leaders, and kaiako to build research-based, inclusive, future-focused language learning programmes across Aotearoa New Zealand.
"This course has helped me to focus on what is important as a leader; building high trust relationships; use data to inform decision making how to have challenging conversations and most importantly to prioritise teaching and learning within the department."
"Encouraging learners not only to acquire linguistic competence, but also to engage thoughtfully and ethically with cultural diversity."
"It motivates me to keep in mind, when designing learning activities, the importance of including students' voices, increasing their input, and gradually releasing responsibility to them so they can take ownership of their learning."
"The Ellis Principles and Newton et al with the Intercultural communicative language teaching principles gave me a broader view of how to be more intentional and explicit with my teaching."
"My lessons have already become more engaging; my learners are invested and learning more."
"I think my big takeaway from the GROW programme was that I need to offer choice and challenge to my students."
