About 180 pupils from schools in Southampton and Hampshire met for a day-long tournament of football and French-inspired activities at the University of Southampton's Wide Lane sports ground. They competed in French-themed quizzes, artwork contests and cheerleading – along with a football tournament. Modern Languages staff and students were on hand to referee the games in French and involve participants in a range of language learning activities off the pitch.
The pupils were just some of the eight hundred in Key Stage 3 that had been studying French in class for 10 weeks using a programme of football-related resources called Score in French devised by
Dr Ian McCall
, in collaboration with Southampton FC. The extensive resource pack includes videos focussing on Saints French footballers Romain Gasmi and Morgan Schneiderlin, as well as a host of other football-related language activities.
Score in French is just one of several
Routes into Languages projects
being run by Modern Languages at Southampton.
