Course summary

Whether you are watching a TV programme, following your favourite sport, or want to get to know more about someone you have just met, being able to do these things in another language is fun and helps you to get more out of it. The study of a foreign language is a highly respected discipline which develops transferable life skills and opens up many future career opportunities. If you are interested in travel, either as a career or a hobby, having the ability to speak the language of the country you are visiting will give you a totally different perspective from that of the tourist. The team comprises ten of the most dynamic departments in the region. The team is comprised of ten experienced teachers and three native assistants to give pupils a genuine understanding of the language they are learning. There is a programme of educational visits abroad because we believe language learning occurs beyond the classroom.
