Many businesses find knowledge of a foreign language can be beneficial to their business (41%) and helpful in building relations with overseas contacts (28%). The foreign languages rated as useful include: French 50%; German 49%; Spanish 44%; Mandarin 31%; Arabic 23%; Polish 19%; Russian 18%; Cantonese 16%; Japanese 15%; Portuguese 11% (and other 16%)

Employability In an increasingly globalised business environment, language skills are highly prized by firms More than a third of companies (36%) recruit employees specifically for their language skills. Employers place a premium on the ability to communicate conversationally in a foreign language – this helps to break the ice with potential business partners, customers and clients, and can open access to new markets. The majority of employers (74%) are looking for this conversational competence rather than full fluency. European languages – particularly French and German – are still the most highly sought-after by employers. A large proportion of employers are also looking for staff with language skills in Mandarin/Cantonese, Russian, Portuguese and Spanish.

La réception de l’ambassadeur Ask pupils to mingle in the class as if they have been invited to a posh reception at the French ambassador’s. They could air kiss, shake hands and then introduce themselves with a short dialogue. The length of the dialogue and/or the scenario could be adapted according to the age and stage of the class.
