New guidance for teachers on taking school trips
abroad |

prospect of taking pupils on trips abroad, yet we know that these
trips can offer fantastic experiences to pupils and can improve
motivation to continue with language learning.
CILT Cymru has produced new guidance for teachers on the dos and
don’ts of taking trips. Don’t get on the ferry before
you read them!

DVD 'Step by Step' (Primary) |
CILT
Cymru is proud to present “Step
by Step”
an inspiring 20-minute DVD that offers an insight into what is being
achieved in Project cluster schools throughout Wales. The aim is to celebrate 3 years of the Project and
promote the immense benefits for both primary and Secondary schools
whilst supporting transition at the same time |
|
'Crossing Bridges' |
_modified.jpg) |
ACCAC has recently
published 'Crossing
Bridges' a guidance, which supports transition from Key
Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 using languages. |
'Languages work' video |
| Have you heard people
say that studying a foreign language will only be useful if you want
to become a teacher or a translator? This video explodes those myths,
and shows young people the exciting career and lifestyle benefits
that can come their way if they learn another language. Indeed, learning
a language can even save lives! The video is aimed at Key Stage 3
school pupils, particularly those who are about to make option choices
that may affect the rest of their lives. Filmed both in Wales and
abroad, it shows that whatever your job or your interests, having
some competence in a foreign language offers you a vastly improved
range of options. |
|
| One copy of the video is available free
of charge to all schools in Wales, and in order to obtain further
copies for £10, please contact CILT Cymru on 02920 480 137. |
DVD 'Languages mean Business' |
 |
A bilingual resource
for use by and with school/college language students aged between
16-19 years, showing the practical applications of foreign languages
skills in the workplace. Please click on the image for further information |
'Languages Work' Materials |
Languages
Work is designed to show the true value of languages
in the workplace and beyond.
Whether you are thinking about your GCSE or A level options, wondering
which college or university course to take, or trying to work out
what career to go for using your languages, Languages
Work is for you.
If you haven't already received a copy, please contact CILT Cymru. |

MFL and Numeracy |
|
As well as developing literacy skills,
the study of MFL also affords many opportunities to develop pupils'
proficiency with numbers. Iona Davies, Head of MFL at Ysgol Dyffryn
Teifi, has written a pack of materials which will allow you to do
just that. Commissioned by CILT Cymru and developed following a study
tour to France funded by GTCW, the materials are arranged in 4 sections.
