Student's Comments

Comments by students about languages at
Oldham Sixth FormCollege


The facilities are excellent. Everything is at hand and I feel that nothing more could be done to help us.

The teachers are excellent, as are the facilities.

Each week my tutor gives up her own time to go through grammar and to discuss how to improve my learning and time management.

The video conferencing session with the college in Clermont Ferrand was an excellent experience.

The resources at the college are of a very high standard and are accessible.

The teachers are always available to help and I feel that everything possible is being done to help us through our A level course.

I think that grammar workshops are a great idea, helping to break up the grammar into smaller digestible chunks.

The induction made me feel more confident about coming to college.

The Intranet is a valuable resource, containing plenty of useful information. The tutors are very helpful all the time and the resources are easily accessible.

The resources available are absolutely fantastic. There is so much to choose from, especially when selecting coursework topics. The oral sessions are extremely useful and enjoyable.

Having weekly sessions with Mme Cruse has really benefited me. The installation of the new language lab has improved facilities dramatically. The facilities on the intranet are brilliant and really help to improve grammatical and other skills.

The new language lab has made materials much easier to access. The chance that we often get to go on cinema trips, attend workshops etc. make it easier to develop your language skills outside the classroom and in a fun way.

The oral sessions with Mme Cruse have helped me immensely. The grammar aspects of the course must be emphasised at Open Evenings etc as students are often not aware of the grammar involved. However, with hard work and extra study you can manage the grammar.

The exchange was the best part of the course. The college has excellent facilities for the course which spur you on to improve and work. The oral sessions each week are excellent, as is the opportunity to book extra sessions.

The resources are superb. The sessions with the assistants are excellent, making it easy to express your opinions in the target language. The exchange was highly enjoyable. The materials available are excellent for coursework.

The facilities for languages are so good that they compare favourably to all the universities that I have visited. The oral sessions are excellent.

NVQ Languages


There is an excellent level of teaching expertise with the lessons being enjoyable, interesting and very understandable. The pace is at a rate that everyone can understand and can take on board a new foreign language with ease.

The resources are widely available to the students, with the use of videos, tape recordings and the digital language lab also adding to the learning experience.

I can now speak another language, which will help me with my future career. I have made new friends during the course and the teacher is helpful in any way possible. The course concentrated on speaking and listening skills, with the practical nature of the assignments making them easy to follow.

The language lab enabled me to complete a wide range of activities and enabled everybody to work at their own pace.

The facilities are really good for learning languages. I am most impressed by the computer software that you can always access independently.

The course provided a sound basis for learning the Italian language with lots of help and support. I have improved my language skills and I have used the computer software as an aid.

This course has given me a basic knowledge of the Spanish language and it will be useful for the future.

The course has been useful for basic Spanish language and conversational skills. The teacher was nice, approachable and easy to converse with.

I think that the course will help when applying for a job or to university and it fits in well with my travel and tourism course.

This course has given me a great insight into the Spanish language. It is part of my GNBVQ Business course and it has been very interesting and very enjoyable.

The lessons were well-paced and enjoyable and the tutor was both friendly and understanding.
