This chapter focuses on describing the issues considered to form the basis for the current quality of foreign language teaching in basic education in Finland. This basis has its cornerstones in research-based teacher education and active networking between the different stakeholders in the field. We introduce the main aims and core contents of language education as well as the latest trends in pedagogical approaches, methods and the role of assessment. We present descriptions of projects and networks set up to support the application of both the latest results of research on language education and the implementation of the national core curriculum at the local school level. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the challenges for future quality work in the field of language education in Finnish comprehensive schools. It is not enough only to maintain the current quality level; there needs to be an upgrading of quality.
