Aberdeen University Language Ambassadors’ visits to Aberdeen City secondary schools

Author: Marie-Claire Lyon, Aberdeen

During the autumn term, University of Aberdeen language student visits to secondary schools are underway.

The mainly third year students give a presentation to secondary pupils following their year abroad. They address S2, S3 as well as senior pupils and share the benefits of learning languages and discovering other cultures.

They engage pupils in debate exploring the use of language in daily life, leisure and working environment.

The participating schools have given positive feedback and noticed increased pupil motivation.
