Each year, SCILT and CISS facilitate scholarships for school leavers to study Mandarin for nine months at Tianjin Normal University in China. This year's group of 22 scholars left for China on 3 September and are now exploring their new life and studies in Tianjin.

Their updates for September are now available to view on the CISS website, where the scholars share how they are settling in, tours of the campus and what they have been up to so far. Why not share these blogs and vlogs with your learners, and show them where language learning could take them in their future?

2 October 2026 (The Conversation)

The UK’s National Year of Reading is asking people across the country to “go all in” on reading. But this invitation raises questions for many families: reading what, in which language and in what form?

These questions matter because nearly one in four pupils in English primary schools (23.8%) is recorded as having a first language other than English. This does not mean they are not fluent in English. But it does mean multilingualism is an everyday feature of today’s classrooms.

These same questions came up at a recent festival at the University of Reading devoted to translation and linguistic diversity in children’s books. Delegates from academia, publishing and education explored bilingual poetry, tactile books and translation activities in Arabic and French.

The message was clear: books in different languages do more than support language learning. They connect families, amplify diverse voices and perspectives, and make reading more inclusive. Linguistic diversity should be central to reading for pleasure initiatives and to children’s publishing.

1 October 2026 (University of Edinburgh)

Let your S6 learners become published authors!

Giving learners a real audience beyond the classroom is one of the strongest motivators for writing. With this in mind, Babble, the University of Edinburgh's student language magazine, is delighted to invite Scottish schools to submit collective essays written by S6 learners for publication in its annual supplement.

This is an opportunity for learners to see their work published, reach a wider audience, and celebrate their achievements as language learners.

This year's theme is Change and we welcome essays written in Chinese, Gaelic, German, French, Italian, or Spanish that explore this theme in any way.

Submission deadline: 28 February 2027.

To see previous editions of the Babble supplement, please follow this link.

Schools in Edinburgh currently benefit from support provided by university student mentors. Unfortunately, due to logistical constraints, we are unable to offer this mentoring scheme to schools outside the Edinburgh area.

To express interest or request further information, please contact Sylvain Blanche at sblanche@ed.ac.uk.

30 September 2026 (The Herald)

Scotland is a nation built on exporting world-class industries, from renewable energy to whisky.

Our country’s long-term competitiveness relies heavily on professionals who can navigate foreign markets with nuance, empathy, and cultural literacy. Yet, as foreign language learning in Scottish schools continues to slide to historic lows, we are quietly closing the door on vital international opportunities.

30 September 2026 (The Conversation)

Approximately 30% of US adults who were learning a language in 2025 reported that they were using artificial intelligence as a resource.

People can use AI-powered chatbots, like ChatGPT and Gemini, to practice conversations in other languages, ask what an unfamiliar phrase means or get feedback on their writing. These apps and websites also offer voice features for speaking and listening in another language.

But can someone learn a language with a chatbot alone?

Research suggests that these tools can help learners build language skills, but there isn’t evidence that strictly using these apps is enough to become fluent in another language.

29 September 2026 (Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce)

As schools across Europe celebrate the European Day of Languages, Albyn School is highlighting the benefits of language learning and the opportunities it offers pupils from the very earliest stages of their education.

At Albyn, language learning begins in Primary 1, when pupils are introduced to French. From Primary 6, they also have the opportunity to learn Spanish and German, broadening their understanding of different languages, cultures and perspectives.

For Nadine Lamont, Faculty Head of Modern Languages at Albyn, learning a modern language is about much more than developing the ability to communicate in another language.

“Learning a modern language gives children so much more than another way to communicate. It opens up another culture and gives them a sense of the wider world from a really young age,” she explains.

25 September 2026 (CISS)

We are delighted to once again offer the opportunity for S6 school leavers to take part in the Tianjin Scholarship programme to study Mandarin at Tianjin Normal University during the 2027-28 academic year.  

This is more than just a gap year or a language course. This immersive, life-changing experience can broaden young people's horizons, develop their intercultural competences and open their eyes to endless possibilities for their future. They will have the chance to really master the Chinese language, as well as foster friendships that will last a lifetime and grow and develop as responsible, global citizens who will be effective contributors to society.  

The Scholarship is open for any current S6 pupil who attends a state school in Scotland. This Scholarship is intended to provide an immersive learning experience for pupils with no previous connections to Chinese language and culture. Therefore, applicants must be non-Chinese nationals from a non-native Chinese-speaking background. 

Applications for the 2027-28 Scholarship are now open with a closing date of October 31 2026. Successful applicants at this stage will be informed by mid-November and invited to an interview in Glasgow during the following dates: 

• Tuesday 1 December 
• Wednesday 2 December 
• Thursday 3 December 
• Friday 4 December 

Successful interviewees will be informed by the end of December.

Registrations are also now open for a Scholarship information session on Tuesday 6 October, for more information and any questions you have.  

You can find more information about the Scholarship, as well as guidance documents and registration links, on the Scholarship project website.

24 September 2026 (Roar News)

Staff Writer Milli Sloss starts a much-needed conversation on the importance of learning and preserving knowledge in other languages, and the pitfalls of assuming that the English language is the only one that matters even in English-speaking countries.

“If you’re a native English speaker, is there a point of you learning other languages? I mean, everyone speaks English.”

Having grown up speaking two distinct languages, I have never known what it’s like to only be familiar with one culture or one version of the world. Code switching between the two and using whichever language was most convenient in the situation was the norm. I accepted and even enjoyed that my feelings and thoughts could not be expressed solely in one language.

So, when asked this, it is not surprising since there are many people who think this way. But the view that other languages are “not as important” or “not valuable” reveals a lot about the dominance of anglophone cultures and the threats on our linguistic diversity.
