Overview:
PPLI provides guidance counsellors with relevant resources and supports to help them inform their students
in relation to subject choice and modern foreign language (MFL) subjects, as well as to support them in the
conversation around modern foreign language uptake upon entry, and at transition points, within their
schools.
Main Aims:
•
Assist guidance counsellors to provide relevant information to students and parents around language
subject options and methods of provision
•
Increase awareness among guidance counsellors of the range of personal and professional benefits
derived through language learning
•
Work with relevant stakeholders to disseminate information and supports to guidance counsellors and in
turn, students, parents, and the wider school community
Activity:
PPLI continued to promote and disseminate the suite of Languages Connect guidance resources across
various digital platforms, through stakeholder collaborations and in schools nationwide throughout 2023.
In March 2023, PPLI attended the Institute of Guidance Counsellors (IGC) annual conference in ATU Sligo, to
provide information and distribute available resources. This event proved to be a highly engaging opportunity
to work with guidance counsellors and to share and discuss the progress of the Languages Connect Strategy.
PPLI also provided online presentations in March 2023 to guidance counsellors, to raise awareness of available
supports and the importance of languages for future study and career options.
