PowerLanguage

6 years ago

Happy New Year from the PowerLanguage team!

We hope 2019 brings you lots of fun teaching and learning languages!

Our L3 Language Resource Packs have proved very popular, with schools and Local Authorities around Scotland investing in our Online Courses for Schools (L3 package) in Spanish, German, French and Chinese.

Schools in England and Wales are getting more and more interested in PowerLanguage, and one of our directors, Richard Tallaron, will travel to Durham University in April for a Keynote Speaker address to the UK Lingua 2019 Conference. Scotland is leading the (languages) way…!

We are also working closely with Laura McEwan, Development Officer for Falkirk Council and her secondary colleagues to develop resources specifically aimed at secondary school pupils. Two cross-curricular dossiers per year will be made available in S1, S2 and S3 throughout the Local Authority. Watch this space!

Please remember that if you are interested in attending an Immersion Course in France or Spain in 2019 or 2020, you can find more information on www.lfee.net. The deadline for Erasmus+ applications is coming up soon…. 5th February 2019 at 11am UK time! The added bonus is that all successful applicants will gain access to one of PowerLanguage’s online courses as part of their 1-week Immersion Course!

Responsive Resources

Introducing our new Responsive Resources layout!

Our Responsive Resources landing pages have gone through a refresh in the holidays! The new Dossiers – gathering together all resources related to a specific topic – will make your search and navigation easier! Go to our newly launched Knowledge Base to find out more or login directly to your PL Schools account.

We are also continuing to revamp our existing Responsive Resources with a range of new animations and illustrations, hyperlinks within our PowerPoints to facilitate navigation, as well as additional teachers notes, which present all resources within a dossier, with ideas for activities.

Lots of revamped Responsive Resources coming soon!
