NICILT is a partnership between CILT, the National Centre for Languages (London), and Queen's University Belfast with funding from the Department of Education for Northern Ireland (DE). It is part of a UK-wide network of institutions all offering a range of services to teachers and learners of modern languages.
NICILT aims to serve all sectors and stages of education in Northern Ireland and support the implementation of national objectives in language learning and teaching. This includes, where appropriate, support for early language learning, for the post-16 sector and for adult education.
