The Importance of Languages Beyond the Classroom

I teach the Japanese GCSE and of course within that one of the themes is specifically using languages beyond the classroom. The new spec encourages us to teach about relationships and travel and employment opportunities all of the things that we've been talking about today are there those same opportunities with the new GCSE spec in French and German and in Spanish for us to be able to bring these sorts of things into our lessons. I'm just absolutely humbled by the work that goes on at GCC and beyond or at very least to love languages and have it in their lives.
