Following the success of last year’s 'Moving Forward with Languages' workshops, SCILT has once again teamed up with languages departments from universities across Scotland to present a series of workshops during term one of the 2023-24 session.

Suitable for pupils studying any language at Higher or Advanced Higher level, learners will get tips, encouragement and support from lecturers which will help with course preparation now, and focus on the future, by finding out what it’s like studying languages at university level. Please note that language-specific examples will vary depending on the partner university's language offer. However, strategies, tips and advice will apply to all languages.

Registrations are now open. Please feel free to share the dates and topics with learners below:

• Wednesday 13 September (2-3pm): Brush up your translation techniques with the University of Strathclyde
• Wednesday 25 October (4.30-5.30pm): Express yourself - discover grammar’s fundamental role in expressing yourself properly with the University of Edinburgh

The workshops will take place online via MS Teams and will not be recorded.
