Sorry the Why study Languages? CD-rom is out of print, but is available as a website.
The website is divided into two parts;
'Language Lab' is aimed at pupils in KS3 and 4 and contains quizzes, language facts, learning style tests that pupils can work through either on their own or with the teacher. It also includes audio clips of young people talking about their reasons for choosing to study languages.
'Why study languages' is aimed at pupils in KS4 and post-16 and provides information on all the many options available for studying languages at university. It includes a quiz and video clips of students talking about their love of studying languages.
