SCILT is inviting schools interested in taking part in the Language Linking Global Thinking initiative in session 2016/17 to register now.
The project links students on their year abroad with primary and secondary schools. Students communicate with a designated class in their partner school during the course of the year to illustrate how enriching it is to spend a year abroad using a language other than English.
While the student is abroad, the partner school keeps in regular contact with the student by emailing, sending postcards and other resources. The two-way correspondence between student and class brings the language alive for pupils and shows them the real relevance of learning a language.
If you would like to take part in this project for session 2016-17, please email SCILT. Places are limited.
