Knowledge in languages allows students to view their world from a different viewpoint and embrace the fact that the world is a rich and diverse place. It also gives them the chance to understand the patterns that underpin languages thus gaining a more powerful insight into their own language as well as the one they are learning. We want our students to develop a lifelong love of languages and ultimately to consider themselves as ‘world citizens’ who belong in a multicultural, mutually respectful world.
“Without language one cannot talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their poetry or savour their songs,” Nelson Mandela.
