What do the students think of Sanako UK Director's MFL in Careers Talks?

It's been a long year of student MFL engagement talks for David, and, despite his age, he has got through it. We know the staff always provide great feedback and that questions about MFL from students continue for many months, but what do the students really think?

David delivered one such talk to the wonderful Lampton School in Hounslow, the teachers there kindly canvassed the students from Year 11 to find out exactly what they thought of it all.

Monica Soares Compton, Languages Teacher, Lampton School begins

David delivered an excellent talk to our Y11 students today focusing on the value and importance of Languages for further education and career prospects.  He delivered his session with great warmth, humour and expertise, pitching it at just the right level to engage his audience. Students clearly enjoyed gaining an insight into how and why knowing a different language can go a long way to boost their future success. David’s many anecdotes, both personal and professional, really brought his core message to life – that language learning is a vital, purposeful and rewarding pursuit in post-Brexit Britain.
