French and Spanish Language School Trips

Immersive modern foreign language trips



A school trip focused on studying foreign languages can be an incredibly enriching and transformative experience for students. Being immersed in a new country and culture, gives students a great opportunity to practice their language skills in real situations, such as ordering food in a bakery or asking for bus tickets.

The following language lessons and conversational workshops will help your students build confidence and fluency, allowing them to practice what they have been taught in the classroom with native speakers. To complement your language learning, your trip can include cultural excursions, giving students the chance to visit famous landmarks and historical sites.

Language trips which allow students an immersive language learning experience are a valuable contribution to personal development. While the majority of students will benefit from French, German or Spanish Language Trips, the range of languages available in schools has led to an increase in diversity of trips we are able to feature. Along with plenty of options for South American Spanish Language Trips, and opportunities to study French in France, we can help with student trips to learn languages such as Portuguese, Chinese and Russian.

In terms of their future careers, being able to speak and write in another language is a much sought after skill. Universities and Colleges really want to see students that have taken another language in their academic studies. To this end, the educational language trips below will help your students improve their linguistic abilities.

We also have some UK based language workshops.

Language Trip Benefits
✔ Allowing students to learn outside the classroom.

✔ Enabling the students to develop links and connections with people from another country.

✔ Giving students the confidence that they can communicate with locals from another country.

✔ Enabling the students to explore the country that they have been studying in the classroom, and allowing them to understand its culture in a greater depth. For instance, giving the students the opportunity to visit its important landmarks and cultural sites, giving the children a further insight into the country's culture and history.

✔ Learning another language and visiting another country enables the students to widen their perspectives.

✔ Allowing students to converse with local people can also improve their communication skills in general, as they are forced to cope and communicate with others in a more difficult situation.

✔ Gives students a greater opportunity to be able to travel and work abroad in the future.

✔ Obtaining an academic qualification in a language gives a student a greater chance of gaining a place at University or College. Moreover, there are numerous combined University courses that involve languages. Consequently, being able to study a language at University gives students a greater choice when deciding their degree course.

✔ Employers look for employees that can communicate in another language. Being able to speak another language therefore, will give your students the upper-hand when entering the job market.

✔ Learning another language is a valuable life skill that will be advantageous at some point during your student's lifetime, whether they visit there in the future or meet someone from that country.


Languages for Career Development
Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) are becoming increasingly important in the workplace. Employers are seeking workers who can speak and understand another language. As companies are becoming increasingly multinational, and it is becoming increasingly commonplace for British companies to trade abroad, especially as we are a part of the EU and have recently strengthened our trade links with China, being able to communicate with another country is priceless. For your further information, the countries that are currently the top trading partners with the UK are as follows: The top five EU trading partners with the UK in October 2014 were; Germany, the Netherlands, France, Ireland and Belgium. The top five non-EU trading partners with the UK in October 2014 were; the US, Switzerland, China, Norway and Canada. Consequently, being able to comprehend one of those languages could make a vital contribution to a British company. Furthermore, City firms and organisations have explicitly stated that they are seeking graduates that speak or write Spanish, Chinese, Arabic or Russian.
