Esperanto and education

• What is Esperanto?
  Esperanto is a language developed by Dr Zamenhof and first published in 1887. Zamenhof proposed it as an international, second language allowing people with different native languages to communicate effectively whilst still retaining their own languages and cultural identities.
   
• Why 'educate' in Esperanto?
  Learn it yourself and you gain access to a network of contacts around the world; you get the benefit of a unique culture which includes thousands of publications, both translated and original - books, magazine, music and poetry; you open up endless travel opportunities and you have fun. Teach it to children and you give them an excellent introduction and insight into language learning and how grammar works - giving a solid basis for further language study.

SPRINGBOARD TO LANGUAGES - a flying start!

Springboard is a bold new initiative designed to raise language awareness for all pupils at Key Stage 2. Ideal as a preparation for learning other languages the programme helps ease transition to KS3, lends itself to cross-curricular activities and to KS2 Literacy and Numeracy work; it is particularly suitable for the non-specialist teacher of foreign languages in primary schools.

We are looking NOW for schools willing to pilot the programme - all materials and support free.
