College Language Ambassadors
Routes into Languages works across multiple key stages to spread positive messages about language learning.
Undergraduate students of languages are trained to give motivational talks in schools, and they are training learners in years 7-9 to inspire their peers and share the advantages of language learning.
Peer-to-peer support offered through these models successfully changes attitudes towards language learning. The SWCEP project funding extended this model to the further education sector.
Alongside Cardiff & Vale College, The College Merthyr Tydfil, Coleg y Cymoedd and Coleg Gwent, the project funded the training of undergraduate Student Language Ambassadors (SLAs) to train college students to become College Languages Ambassadors (CLAs) for languages, sharing positive messages both within the college and by partnering with local primary and secondary schools.
