Enhancing Bilingual Education in Geography: A Collaborative Project at AMRTC

AMRTC Archbishop Michael Ramsey Technology College is running a bilingual project in secondary Geography education. Located in an inner-city environment with a predominantly African and Caribbean student body, our focus is to integrate language learning into the curriculum, despite time constraints. We've initiated various projects and collaborations, boosting student motivation and confidence in using foreign languages. Activities include comparing populations in Haiti, the UK, and France. Our next steps involve strengthening partnerships with schools in France, Nigeria, and Jamaica, and expanding the project to include History and Art.
