Strengthening your language teaching practice with expert support, workshops, programmes and networks of learning.

At Language Circle, we are a team of dedicated education professionals with strong teaching and academic backgrounds, working alongside our expert language advisors to support schools and teachers across Aotearoa.

We value meaningful partnerships with Language Associations, Embassies, and Cultural Institutes, which help us foster deep cultural understanding and encourage confident language learning in classrooms and communities.

For more than a decade, we have worked closely with the Ministry of Education to provide language learning support to the education sector, evolving our programmes and services to meet the changing needs of learners while staying true to our mission of building stronger connections through language and culture.
