European Day of Languages 2020 assembly PowerPoint

This lively and interactive assembly PowerPoint has been created to celebrate the European Day of Languages across the whole school. It encourages pupils to appreciate the diversity of languages and cultures while highlighting the personal, academic, and career benefits of language learning.

Fascinating facts and statistics about world languages and bilingualism.
“Celebrity Linguists” examples to inspire pupils.
Quirky, untranslatable words from other languages.
Discussion points on whether Google Translate can really replace learning languages.
A ready-to-use poster competition brief to encourage creativity.
A set of language challenges for pupils to try both in and outside the classroom.
A fun Bake Off competition idea to link languages with creativity.
