Each year, in collaboration with Routes into Languages Cymru, we recruit a team of language undergraduates to be Student Language Ambassadors (SLAs). Some SLAs are in their final year and have recently returned from their year abroad, others are in their second year and currently preparing to go abroad to work or study. All are enthusiastic about language learning, and are keen to share their experiences with pupils in local schools. Modern Languages and Cultures staff play an active role in the training sessions, and materials and useful web links are available on the Routes into Languages Cymru website. SLAs also have the opportunity to take part in other activities organised by schools or Routes into Languages Cymru (see below).

• Language taster sessions.
• Oral revision sessions.
• Talks about studying languages at university, including the experience of starting a new language.
• Talks to share information about spending time abroad, either studying or on work experience.

Students from European countries, who are spending part of their course in Bangor under the EU Erasmus scheme, are offered the opportunity to take an assessed module which enables them to spend four hours per week working as Foreign Language Assistants (FLAs). Most FLAs work in local schools, but some also work in the School of Languages, Literatures, Linguistics and Media itself, allowing undergraduates to have additional contact time with native speakers.

FLAs also have the opportunity to visit schools to offer GCSE, AS and A2 oral revision sessions, and to work with SLAs as part of the school visits programme. Before beginning their work in schools FLAs are given training by staff from GwE and our School, and materials and useful web links are provided.

Students have helped pupils, for example, with pronunciation, vocabulary building, presentation skills, effective handling of questions, and have even taken on the role of examiner in mock exams.

We are able - in collaboration with?,?, and?- to offer Film and Literature Masterclasses for AS and A level students and teachers. Every year these are attended by teachers and students of French, German and Spanish from schools in north Wales. They offer an opportunity for the students, who had watched the film or read the book before coming to Bangor, to widen their understanding of the item studied and extend their vocabulary. Throughout these sessions, 麻豆传媒高清版 language students are available to assist with the workshops and talk about their experience of studying languages and visiting other countries.

These pupils take a key role within their school by promoting the value of Modern Foreign language learning. The main aim is to increase the take-up of languages amongst school pupils. Their input is extremely valuable, and their messages will enthuse school pupils and encourage them to think more positively about learning languages. Workshops are delivered by the Spanish Embassy Education Office, Goethe Institut and the event is supported by our Student Language Ambassadors.
