Breakthrough A2 event (Year 12 Cultural Awareness Day) – Thursday 30th June 2016
The purpose of the day is to provide your Year 12 students of French, German and Spanish with an insight into the wider aspects of studying a language in preparation for their A2 study of a cultural topic
Each session will consist of a short lecture followed by some language based analysis of a text, historical period, film or song before the students are given the opportunity to produce their own responses to the things that they have seen and heard. They will also have the chance to work with, and ask questions to, current language undergraduates at the University.
Teachers can book on to the event by sending an email to Annunziata Videtta a.videtta.1@warwick.ac.uk specifying how many teacher/student places they would like and for which language stream (French, German or Spanish).
For Year 12 students who would like to attend unaccompanied, there will be a minibus shuttle service leaving Coventry Rail Station at 9.30am and returning at 3pm.
Teachers who don't have access to a school minibus can also take advantage of the minibus service. There will be a student ambassador at the station ready to welcome students and teachers and take them to the minibus.

These events are designed to motivate and encourage your most able linguists and give them the opportunity to practise and extend their language skills.
We hope to see you at one or more of our events on campus this year. There is no charge for the events; however you will need to make your own way to and from campus.
If you have any questions or would like to book places on any of these events then please email Katherine.astbury@warwick.ac.uk
