KS3 - German
In a world of shifting sands and emerging global economies, of changing landscapes in Europe and new ventures with international trade partners, it has never been more important to learn another language. It gives us the possibility to understand other cultures and interact on a level that is not possible without using the mother tongue of the other country. English is not enough, and Britain is lagging behind where 2 or 3 language is the norm in other countries! The London School of Economics states that we lose a £3.5 billion in trade revenue due to our inability to speak languages. The country is experiencing a language crisis, and we are at the forefront to correct this.
At the Langton Language Centre our motto is ‘Languages for Life’ and through this our ambition to empower our students to compete in the global labour market at the highest level. Their language journey will give them a very tangible skill, having also had the opportunity to hone the ‘soft skills’, which employers’ demand, during the process; problem solving, creativity, working with others, independence, overcoming fears and improving self-confidence.
