All full-time undergraduate and postgraduate current Leeds Beckett University students, who are studying for at least one full academic year, can join the Languages for All Programme. Erasmus students, who are studying at Leeds Beckett University for a full academic year from September, can also join the programme. Even if you studied a free language on the Languages for All programme in previous years, you can still apply for a place again this year.
. Which languages can I learn in the Languages for All Programme?
Languages will be offered at different levels from Beginners through to Upper Intermediate. Not all levels may be available in all languages. Upper Intermediate is the highest level available in the
Languages for All programme. Languages offered are Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch, French,
German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. There are courses available at Headingley and City Campuses. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
. I am a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate student studying at Leeds Beckett
University. How many languages can I learn in the Languages for All Programme?
You can only learn one language for free on the Languages for All Programme per year. We offer a wide range of languages. If we don’t offer the language you want, or you are interested in studying more than one language, you can join the Part-Time Language Programme. Here is a link for more information: www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/part-timelanguages/
. I am a part-time student at Leeds Beckett University. Can I study a free language on
the Languages for All Programme?
Unfortunately, the free languages courses in the Languages for All Programme are only available to current full-time undergraduate and postgraduate Leeds Beckett University students. However, please consider the Part-Time Languages Programme instead. Here is a link for more information: www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/part-timelanguages/
. I have an unconditional or conditional offer from Leeds Beckett University and I would
like to sign up in advance for the Languages for All courses.
Students will only be able to sign up for the Languages for All courses once they are enrolled at Leeds
Beckett University and have received their Student ID number.
I already have a GCSE or A/AS Level or equivalent, or some knowledge of a language.
How do I know which level course I should enrol on?
You can study a language on the Languages for All programme from Beginners through to Upper
Intermediate level. Please note that not all languages will be available at all levels. Please go to
Assessing Your Language Level for further information. You can also have your language level assessed by one of our tutors at our Open Days. No booking is required. Our Open Days are:

What type of language courses do you offer?
We offer General language courses in the Languages for All programme:
General language courses
Students will explore different aspects of language and the cultures of the countries where the target language is spoken. In addition to developing a range of key skills and adopting different language learning strategies, independent learning will be encouraged along with classroom-based learning.
The courses will concentrate on the use of language for communication using real-life tasks wherever possible. Pair and group work will be used extensively to maximize the amount of time the language is used in class.
. Are the courses accredited?
Will I get credits at the end of my Languages for All course?
All the courses are accredited and you have the opportunity to gain a qualification or credits, depending on the course, level and language. Gaining a qualification will be dependent on your language level when you start the course. For example, if you started at Beginners and attended for two years, you could gain a Certificate in Foundation Language Studies. If you started with a GCSE in the language, and joined Pre-intermediate classes, after two years, you could gain a Certificate in
Language and Related Studies. If you started with a high grade A Level and joined Upper Intermediate languages classes, after two years, you could gain a Certificate of Higher Education in Language and
Related Studies.
If you only study the first year of an award you will get 30 university credits. These credits can be used for continuing your learning of the same language at our University or are transferable to other institutions for studying the same language.
. What assessments will I have to do?
The assessments consist of coursework, many done as class activities, especially at the lower levels.
There are no exams.
The assessments, the type of assessment task and whether they are done in class or not depend on the level and the courses being studied. The deadlines for the completion and submission of their assessments are indicated in the assessment details, which will be given to the students by their tutor around week 3. All courses are assessed.
When and where are the courses held? When do courses start?
Courses start week commencing Monday 3 October 2016 and run for 26 weeks, 2 hours per week.
There are no classes during University holidays or on Public Holidays.

Languages for All courses are held on weekday evenings Monday – Thursday, 18.30 – 20.30 at
