Peter Wick, our English language assistant, delivered a very detailed whiteboard presentation to introduce the concept of
Halloween to our younger students.
Presentations
are a great way to have students practise all language systems areas
(vocabulary, grammar, discourse and phonology) and skills (speaking, reading,
writing and listening). Presenting is a skill that most people will need in the
world of work. Students who are good presenters are better communicators all
round, since they are able to structure and express their ideas clearly.
Overall, the effect of the Foreign Language assistants is
multi-faceted. They build confidence in speaking foreign languages, a
skill which many pupils find the most stressful of all. They also increase cultural awareness, giving both staff and students
up-to-date knowledge of everyday life in their home country. Finally,
foreign language assistants broaden the horizons of our pupils, showing them
that a world exists outside of their own life, opening their minds and
broadening their world views.
