Explores Impact of Research Excellence Framework on Modern Languages, suggesting improvements for visibility.
ABSTRACTS: In the UK, academics, including specialists in Modern Languages (ML), are obliged to engage systematically with knowledge transfer through projects established under the government’s Research Excellence Framework (REF), which formalizes such activities under the term ‘impact’, hitherto little studied in relation to ML. This article outlines the ML impact landscape in the UK, explores the place of Impact Case Studies in ML research with reference to REF 2014, 2021, and 2029, and presents recommendations for REF processes to improve ML visibility together with guidance on impact with a view to strengthening the future of the discipline.
