CILT, Oxford Brookes University and the Institute of Romance Studies (University of London) have developed an online single point of reference for research interests in modern language studies across the UK. This website, Research in Modern Languages in the UK, provides access to a database of research comprising datasets of research into language teaching and learning (including language policy)

Other research on careers with languages focuses on:

• immigrant employment prospects
• minority language policy
• financial rewards of language skills
