European Day of Languages - Italian Celebration Day: 27th November (9.45am-3pm), The University of Manchester

Routes into Languages in the North West are running an Italian Celebration Day, which is being held to mark the European Day of Languages.
This event is open to language students in Years 10-12. They do not have to be studying Italian, as we will offer ab initio sessions for those who have no knowledge of the language. Students studying GCSE or AS Level Italian are also welcome to attend, as we will offer them sessions appropriate to their level.
The event will be hosted by the University of Manchester, one of the partners of Routes NW. It is designed to highlight the benefits of learning Italian and the fun way in which it can be taught. Activities will include a language taster, an opera session using music to teach the language and a film study session, highlighting the way film can be used to teach languages. We also hope to offer a drama workshop, which will get the pupils actively involved in exploring the Italian culture.
The event is hoped to boost students’ enthusiasm for language learning. This is an excellent opportunity to show language students the variety of languages on offer; and the variety of fun ways students can learn languages, and about their associated cultures.
This event is free of charge and we expect that it will book up quickly, so please return the enclosed booking form as soon as possible to reserve your places. Places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
 

If your school would like to attend, please fill in the Booking Form attached and return via email, fax or post by 21st October 2009.
