Celebrate
Adult Learners’ Week between 17 and 23 May!
 Adult Learners' Week is the UK's largest and longest running
learning campaign. Held each May, it encourages thousands of
adults, whatever their age and background, to give learning
a go: whether it's learning for pleasure, catching up on skills
missed out on at school or for getting that new job or promotion.
Adults in London are more and more enthusiastic about improving
their language skills. We talked to Katherine Malins at John
Laing plc to find out more about their ‘Language Club’ which
she set up to encourage colleagues to build their language
knowledge while having a bit of fun and socialising at the
same time. You can read the full
story on our website.
Is there something your business could do during
Adult Learners’ Week to encourage language learning?
Whether languages are used every day at work or not, there’s
no doubt a lot of enjoyment can be had in trying out a few
words or phrases – and it’s a great icebreaker
when you’re abroad or meeting with people from different
parts of the world. A little language can go a long way.
