Nottingham Language Academy is staging a series of open days as the centre gears up for the start of a new term.
Running on Thursday 8th September, Monday 12th September and Wednesday 21st September between 2pm and 7pm, the sessions are the chance to discover more about the modern languages tuition and the English as a Foreign Language courses available at Nottingham Language Academy.
The centre, based at the Ropewalk, Nottingham, opened a year ago and offers classes in the modern languages of French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Greek, Mandarin and Arabic. It also provides tuition in English as a Foreign Language to individuals and to businesses.
“We’re looking forward to opening our doors to our latest students as we celebrate our first anniversary,” said Linda Walker, who runs the academy. “Since opening in September 2010, we’ve expanded the courses on offer, helped hundreds of people to either improve their English as a foreign language or to learn a modern foreign language, and we’ve also played host to dozens of students at our summer schools.
“The open days are a great chance to find out more about what we offer and our ethos of small class sizes and tailored lessons.”
Classes are run during the day, evenings and at weekends, and are designed for people who want to improve their job prospects, travel and see the world, live and work abroad, gain a place at university or learn something new for the fun of it.

Nottingham Language Academy launches classes in Mandarin
Nottingham Language Academy is expanding its courses just months after opening by launching tuition in Mandarin.
The language school based at The Ropewalk in the city is now offering lessons at intermediate level in Mandarin, which has more native speakers than any other language in the world.
The morning class is being taught by an expert native speaker and has been launched in response to demand from students.
It brings the number of modern foreign languages taught at Nottingham Language Academy to seven.
“Learning Mandarin is becoming more popular as a result of China’s re-emergence on the world stage, but courses are not widely available, so I am delighted that we can now offer a course in Mandarin at Nottingham Language Academy,” said Linda Walker, who is a Business Language Champion in the East Midlands and who launched the language school in September.
The school, which offers tuition to individuals and businesses, also teaches English as a foreign language, alongside the modern languages of French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese and Greek.
Classes are run during the day, evenings and at weekends, and are designed for people who want to improve their job prospects, travel and see the world, live and work abroad, gain a place at university or learn something new for the fun of it.
The modern foreign languages courses are linked to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) which now forms the basis of language teaching and learning in most EU countries.
“It’s estimated that more than 800 million people in the world speak Mandarin, and it’s spoken by more people than any other language in the world,” said Linda. “As it’s spoken in mainland China and Taiwan it’s understandable that there seems to be a growing demand to learn it now.”

Nottingham Language Academy opens
 |
| Linda Walker outside Nottingham Language Academy |
Nottingham Language Academy based at The Ropewalk in the city is offering modern language classes in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Greek and Japanese, as well as English as a foreign language.
It has been launched by Linda Walker, who has worked in further education for more than 20 years as a college lecturer and then senior manager, and is being staffed by 12 teachers who are all native speakers in the language they teach.
“Nottingham Language Academy is the first teaching establishment of its kind in the city, offering both modern languages and English as a foreign language,” said Linda.
“I’m very excited to be opening something which I hope will be a great resource for both the business community in Nottingham and individuals who want to learn a new language or improve their English, if English is not their first language.”
Classes are being run during the day, evenings and at weekends, and are designed for people who want to improve their job prospects, travel and see the world, live and work abroad, gain a place at university or learn something new for the fun of it.
The modern foreign languages courses are linked to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) which now forms the basis of language teaching and learning in most EU countries.
Taster sessions are being offered, as well as general courses.
Linda, who lives in Long Eaton and is a Business Language Champion in the East Midlands, said: “Our first classes start in October, and are aimed at individuals and businesses, from beginner to advanced level. Our school will offer the opportunity for people to learn in small groups in a relaxed and comfortable environment.
“We offer one-to-one classes and general classes in inspirational surroundings, and can also provide tailor-made sessions for businesses that want training for their staff.”
Through her involvement as a Business Language Champion, Linda is determined that the Nottingham Language Academy will embrace the concept of corporate social responsibility from the start.
This voluntary programme brings together business people using languages with schools, to help show young people how useful a language can be in their careers. It enables businesses to be involved in a number of ways (short talks, workshops and seminars), and Linda hopes that a long term partnership with a local school can be arranged soon after the start of the autumn term.
