Year 10 pupils from three Newcastle schools – Clayton Hall Business and Language College, Newcastle Community High School and Madeley High School came together on 4 July at Newcastle-under-Lyme College to experience a full languages taster day delivered by NULC lecturers and current language students.
The groups had 3 lectures in French, Spanish and German and
also chose an additional short taster in Japanese, Polish or Italian. At lunch
all students and staff enjoyed a themed buffet with food from France, Spain and
Germany. The day was designed to give students an example of an A Level
Language lecture at Newcastle-under-Lyme College and to demonstrate the wealth
of opportunities being proficient in a foreign language can give you in your
future career.
Madeley pupil, Billy Seru, commented, “I enjoyed everything.
It was fun, I learnt new things, met new people and ate interesting food-
overall, a very good day.”
James Bailey from Clayton Hall Business and Language College,
said: “I found the taster session extremely informative and it gave me a clear
insight into the structure of an A Level course”
Lucy Webb from Newcastle Community High School, said: “I
thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I will take French at College if
possible.”
Bruno Prime, French language teacher at Clayton Hall
Business and Language College, said: “I thoroughly enjoyed the day, it was very
well organised. There were lots of different activities, time flew very quickly
and the students were always involved. The different activities were
challenging but pitched at the right level.”
