This is aimed at charging every language enthusiast, learner, aspirant, student to remain rooted in learning that language. It will hatch soon.

We officially began Socio-éducatif in the Department of Foreign Languages today. This programme is aimed at improving our speaking skills of the foreign languages we study— French, German and Portuguese.

Beyond the theory we learn in the four walls of the classroom, we need to challenge ourselves to converse in the language and be practical with it. So the socio-éducatif programme will feature debates, quizzes and symposiums where we gather to discuss key issues that students can relate to.

The French students from Part 1 and Part 2 debated on these two topics:

“L’argent fait-il le bonheur?” which denotes “Does money bring happiness?”

“L’université prepare-t-elle vraiment les étudiants à la vie réelle?” which begs the question “does university prepare students for reality/after school life?”

Cheers to the department.👊🔥

This semester, we’re hitting the road, switching the routine for some adventure, and turning a regular day into something worth talking about.

If you’ve been saying “I need a break”. This is your cue.

Are you coming or are we telling you stories later and showing you pictures?

Dear AFLSites, are you ready for the time of your life?🥳🥳

“Oh so these are opportunities I can actually use my foreign language degree to bag…”

You want to find out what opportunities we are talking about? Then, this is your cue to register for The Ife Multilinguist Conference 6.0.🥳🔥🔥

And for you wondering if your next big opportunity is hidden in a language that you are delaying exploring, come find a seat at IMC 6.0 too.

Let’s come together to stretch ideas, to watch a collusion of cultures with artistic performances, and listen to the reality of seasoned linguists.

Come for the languages.
Stay for the doors that will be opened after.👊🔥
