Anyone working with teenagers might also be interested in free posters, postcards, factsheets, and other Languages Work goodies designed to highlight to teenagers the advantages of language skills later in life. These can also be ordered from the online shop. Visit our Celebrate, Educate, Appreciate page for ideas on how to use these resources for the day.

Free Council of Europe resources
The free Council
of Europe stickers and posters will be available to order again this year via your local Comenius
Network as well as SCILT, NICILT and CILT Cymru. Note that these tend not to be available until September.
European Commission
The European Commission have made available fun and useful classroom resources that can be ordered directly from their website - and all completely free of charge. Below is an image of the Passport to the European Union. This booklet includes stickers of coins, flags, buildings and even a map. Children can find places for the stickers in the passport and on the map. Take them on a tour of Europe and see what else they can find out about their neighbours. Another invaluable publication that is a fun resource in the classroom is Languages take you further, a small booklet with examples of the many languages spoken in Europe to show how much fun language learning can actually be.

Downloads
We still love all our previous EDL resources and so are making them available for you here.
Spiders
The A to Z
of languages and activities poster contains 26 hidden spiders.To check where they are, download the answer poster.
Logos
You may wish to use the 2008 EDL logo to promote your event or activity and it is available here in a variety of formats.
Animations
If you love the EDL characters as much as we do,
you might have wondered what it would be like if they could move around.
Wonder no more! Twenty-six favourites have been brought to life.
Pronunciation guide
To help you make the most of the CILT resources we have produced a pronunciation guide. This
is not a phonetic transcription of the 'hellos' or indeed an English
'translation' so there may be other ways of presenting the pronunciations
but hopefully it will help you say hello in all the different
languages,
whether
or not you are familiar with them.

What celebrities speak other languages?
We know that positive role models are really important
and we hope that identifying celebrity linguists will motivate young
learners. CILT has a couple of pages on the website under the heading celebrity linguists which
bring together info on famous people and the languages they speak.
In some cases there are even quotes on the importance of learning
other languages.
If you know of another celebrity to be added to the
list, please let
us know.
