Student action launches new â€˜Babylon Projectâ€™

January 20, 2009

YUSU Student Action has embarked on a new volunteering scheme that will see York students being used to provide useful foreign languages skills to young children in the local area.

Coming from project coordinators Sinead Flaherty and Jen Chesterâ€™s desire to â€œteach language that is used on a day-to-day basis, the project has quickly gathered momentum, with the first classes set to begin from January 19th onwards when the volunteers head to the five schools initially involved.

Babylon aims to replicate the early introductions to second languages which are mostly absent in the United Kingdom.
