Why learn a language?

Description

The programme features the Languages for Life Project Office, Annie Bannerman and her team of undergraduates from Aston University's School of Languages and Social Sciences leading a workshop with a Year 9 group of girls. The team work alongside pupils enabling them to discuss the opportunities that exist for students with language skills both academically and vocationally.
