Modern Languages Society
There are regular events, activities and trips to enable students of languages to embrace the Target Language Culture. We believe that giving students access to other cultures is a vital part of learning a language, and learning to appreciate its culture and be enriched by it.
Among activities we have provided over the last two years have been:
- Languages Awareness Evening
- Language Competitions at Birmingham University
- Languages Olympiad
- Film evenings, both at school and at the cinema
- Theatre visit
- Languages for the Gifted and Talented, at Aston University
- French breakfast
- Gap Students from Chile, talking about their country
- Joint film evening, Geography and Spanish
- Hosting 40 students from our partner school in Concepción
- Activities with our partner school in Chile, such as debating and rounders
- Chilean students present in and helping in classes
- Lessons in other subjects taught in French or Spanish
- Activities with our partner school in Bordeaux, such as a bilingual debate
- Debates in French
Visits of Onatti Theatre Company to Solihull School, allowing us to enjoy plays in French, German and, soon, Spanish
