"Because I study a language..."
... is a set of fun and inspiring resources for use in schools, designed to encourage students to think about the experiences and opportunities linked to language learning. We asked undergraduates from the University of Leeds, the University of Sheffield and York St John University to tell us about an experience of theirs, made possible by studying a language. We have brought together some of the best responses in a slideshow which aims to provoke students to think: "What if I studied a language". The presentation can be set up on a loop and used in languages classrooms, on school websites and during language/culture immersion days.

Modern foreign language teacher resources
We are pleased to introduce a set of new materials for A-level teachers of French, German and Spanish. The new resources offer guidance to those teaching film and literature as part of the new A-level curricula. We hope these classroom aids will prove useful as schools transition to teaching the new qualifications.
- Teaching French Film and Literature
- Teaching German Film and Literature
- Teaching Spanish Film and Literature
We have developed a collection of films Teaching Foreign Languages to support those who will be delivering the new A levels in French, German and Spanish. Dr Matthew Treherne, Head of the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies introduces the series.
