Blog feedEuro Award for Languages Video online
4th October
Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited to the European Award for Languages ceremony not, as usual, in London but down the road in the Scottish Parliament. It was a real pleasure to hear about some highly innovative teaching, some with technology some without any at all. You can get a flavour for what is going on, too, and pick up a few teaching and learning ideas on the way. I enjoyed seeing - or rather hearing - young translators from the booths doing spontaneous interpreting of multilingual debates within the Parliament chamber.
You can now access the video archive over at Holyrood TV. It’s worth listening to just the first two minutes to hear how many languages our Presiding Officer, George Reid, is able to speak, including Gaelic.
