£5000 prizes for innovative language courses

This year the Mary Glasgow Trust will again award their 14-19 Curriculum Prizes, worth £5000 each, to schools and colleges, or local authorities, that are making language learning more engaging and successful for young people who might otherwise give them up.

Prize winners in 2009 were:

The Hurst Community College, Baughurst, Hampshire for a brilliant Fast Track programme which has significantly improved motivation, raised standards, and increased participation in languages post 14;

Lymm High School, Cheshire for a range of well designed courses that integrate languages and  work experience abroad with vocational programmes for 14-19 year olds;

Cornerhouse, a dynamic Arts Centre in Manchester that is working with HE to introduce GCSE and AS/A level students to contemporary foreign cinema, providing high quality language experiences and excellent downloadable resources for teachers and students, as well as sessions for teachers that propose a variety of approaches to using film in their teaching.
