Activity Guide

Activity guide imageThe Languages Work Activity Guide provides advice, information and support for anyone who wants to inspire students to think seriously about careers in languages and may be thinking of using the suite of Languages Work resources to do so.

Written for use by teachers, careers advisers, foreign language assistants, external industry representatives or language student ‘ambassadors’, it includes tailored notes for these users.

The guide presents ideas for presentations and activities which make the most of the full range of Languages Work materials, and are suitable for a variety of situations: in a school assembly, as part of a careers event, during options events or in class. It also offers advice on encouraging students to engage independently with both print and web-based media.

There is also more general advice on engaging parents, presenting to audiences of different sizes and dealing with frequently asked questions.

Whether you are a careers adviser, languages teacher, a business speaker or a volunteer helping to promote languages the Activity guide is an invaluable resource to help you use the range of Languages work materials to their maximum potential.
