26th September, The European Day of Languages

Food for Thought

“Language learning is an act of creativity, imagination, exploration, expression, construction and profound social and human collaboration.” 

Mark Warschauer

Next 26th September is the official European Day of Languages. It is a day to celebrate all languages and to generally have lots of multilingual fun. Let's play in the library!! Visit the Council of Europe's European Day of Languages site. It's a great opportunity to take language learning out of the classroom, too. 

To mark the occasion, Macmillan English has put together an exclusive infographic, selection of quizzes, and special social surprises dedicated to celebrating Europe and the importance of English language learning! 

Nevertheless, whatever language is being learnt at school it is important to emphasise the value of all languages. The European Day of Languages is not just a celebration of European languages, so use the day to instil an appreciation of the value of all languages. 

Languages change lives, open minds!!

Enjoy your Day!!!

"For growing up, just watch a tree. As the tree grows up, its roots are growing down, deeper. There is a balance: the higher the tree goes, the deeper the roots will go. In life, growing up means growing deep within yourself -- that's where your roots are."
