Following the popularity of this conference last June, we are pleased to offer our "Languages in HE" Sixth Form conference again this year. It will take place on 9th February 2011 at Aston University 10am – 3.30pm with 100 places available.
The conference is organised by Routes into Languages West Midlands and the aim is to give Sixth Formers a flavour of the opportunities for language learning at HE available to them.
You will find attached below the programme. Students will have the chance to hear a presentation detailing the wide range of options for continuing with languages at university followed by a question and answer session with undergraduates studying at Routes into Languages West Midlands institutions.
For the rest of the day, students then have the freedom to choose which sessions they would like to attend based on their own studies and interests. The sessions will be delivered by staff from Routes into Languages West Midlands institutions in order to allow students to experience the diversity of different universities locally and to encourage them to research their options thoroughly before completing their UCAS forms. A buffet lunch will be provided during which time there will also be a mini HE Fair with representatives and undergraduates from Routes institutions available to offer advice, answer questions and distribute prospectuses.
Alongside the student sessions, Links into Languages will provide CPD training for teachers. The training is open to all language teachers and will focus on KS5. We are able to offer the course for free to teachers accompanying students and at a cost of £50 to those coming on their own.
