CORBY students put their language skills to the test on a week's work experience in France.
Nine Year 12 students from Brooke Weston City Technology College worked in schools, shops and a restaurant during the visit.
They all stayed in a converted mill near Pontivy, in Brittany.
Avena Davis, who worked in a school, said: “There were only about 70 children in the whole school aged from two to 11. I was teaching them vocabulary and one day I had to teach them English in French, which was really hard.”
Rebecca Mee, who also worked in the school, said: “I enjoyed the job. I thought all the children were really friendly. I spent a day with each year group.”
Teacher Nadege Price said: “To speak French in real-life situations is the perfect way to put into practice what the students learn.”
