The Language Centre at Queen’s is committed to promoting language learning and use in different contexts of education for a variety of purposes.\u00a0We also value the richness of languages and cultures brought in by staff and students to Queen’s as the main part of the assets of our multicultural campus.\u00a0We believe that linguistic diversity is a key feature of university campus life, and part of our Equality Policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate the International Mother Language Day we would like to invite you to join us in our Tandem Language Exchange (TLE) programme, via which you may find language partners to swap with each other’s native language in a mutually supportive and respectful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
