Before half term, over 75 students from five schools including Abingdon came together to take part in the Business Language Challenge, part of the OX14 Learning Partnership events calendar. The full day event was an opportunity for linguists from across the town to work in teams on a range of business tasks.
Organised by our MFL department and led by external group ‘Business Language Champions’, the day consisted of fun and hands-on activities using the chosen language for each team. The highlights were creating an advert for a famous confectionary brand, pitching to the judges and making a trade stand. Students particularly valued the opportunity to meet new friends, get creative and use the language skills for practical real world scenarios.
The day showed excellent levels of engagement, teamwork and enthusiasm from all who took part. And we can’t wait to do it again next year!
