Buzzing with enthusiasm after delivering a creative translation workshop to a group of Y6 students, who really engaged with the Spanish-language poem. Translation is a powerful tool for developing a range of transferible cross-curricular skills! @StephenSpender @TranslationExch

Perhaps I can tout the wonderful venture by @TranslationExch for young students of modern languages - the Anthea Bell Prize, named after my late mother. Too few people in UK have a second language. No one, of any age, should be diffident in acquiring one. queens.ox.ac.uk/research-at-…
