A three day immersion language programme for Y9-10 speakers of Urdu taking place at The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).
The programme will consist of language classes in the morning and group work in the afternoon. The language classes will be specifically designed to help students improve their Urdu language skills. For the afternoon, participants will be given a choice of project titles and work in groups with SOAS student ambassadors to prepare a presentation in whatever format they choose. The presentation will be delivered on the last day.
Students will also receive information about studying languages at university, how languages could enhance their career prospects, and about other language qualifications. SOAS and Capital L will liaise with their secondary schools about alternative language qualifications.
The Urdu community is one of the largest bi-lingual communities in London, yet in many cases, children either don’t have the opportunity to learn to read and write in their home language or feel that there is no benefit in doing so.
This activity will provide them not only with the opportunity to develop their reading and written skills, but also increase their awareness of the benefits and opportunities for studying and obtaining a recognised qualification.
