Last Saturday, Linguistic Aid Kit completed its fourth active year!
We are extremely grateful to all those who have supported us during this time and hope to have been respectable partners to all our associates.
Over the past twelve months, we have been working on one major project, as well as several workshops.
Language Learning for the Screen Generation (LLSG) is an endeavour we have undertaken with our partners from IIPC, Kedainiai Language School and BragaMob, respectively from Latvia, Lithuania and Portugal. Since the onset of the project, the partners have met twice at functional meetings, one of which here, in Manchester.
In doing so, we have started the development of an online tool with access to various methodologies for language teaching. Some of them involve, and are highly dependent on, technology. Others, on the other hand, focus on removing smartphones from the hands of children and involving all their senses in the learning process.
Two more meetings are to take place soon, in the two remaining countries.
The most notable workshop we ran this year took place at the University of York in January 2016. Touching on some of the critical points of public speaking, it gave the 15 delegates the necessary confidence and know-how for them to approach their upcoming presentations, speeches and addresses.
In addition, we have been working tirelessly on the submission on various new projects. Our most promising one, School for Dreams, was left on top of the reserve list last year. It aims to introduce an innovative and unprecedented species of extracurricular activity for secondary school children, which allows them to develop any strong interests they have. Further, our many partners and we are working on dozens more, which will be submitted at the end of March.
We could have done none of these without the continuous support of our friends: online, in person, material, emotional or otherwise.
So for this, we thank you.
Please do not forget to leave your comments and, of course,
Stay classy
