      • Young Interpreter Scheme

        logo


        The scheme offers training for learners aged 5-16 to develop the skills needed to help new arrivals with English as an Additional Language.
        Trained Young Interpreters help newly-arrived pupils feel welcome and settled in their new school environment. The scheme also develops the confidence, communication and leadership skills of the Young Interpreters. For schools it’s a way of valuing multilingualism whilst acknowledging and celebrating the skills of their learners.

        Young Interpreters can be speakers of English only or speakers of other languages. Together they use a range of inventive ideas modelled during their training to communicate with their new classmates.

        For details of the scheme, visit our dedicated Young Interpreter page on Moodle.
