- Communicate across languages with EMASUK
Did anyone see the ITV story last week that English is not the first language for one in nine schools?

To be honest despite visiting schools all over the UK I didn’t realise it was so high. It was interesting that Douglas Carswell, a backbench Tory MP has called for a “national debate about the impact of social cohesion in Britain today.”
At EMASUK, ‘ replies John Foxwell,’ we have been working for the last five years to support schools to work within their communities and develop home school partnerships that effectively create community cohesion. We have done this by developing a revolutionary speaking translator that communicates in 25 languages and allows the community member to be in charge of their own interaction.
For example picking up an English document, translating into Polish, being able to respond in Polish that is then translated into English means that the emphasis is placed firmly on the user. We welcome the opportunity to open the debate up and show how it isn’t community cohesion that is the issue it is community communication.
Join the debate. What do you think?
The world is in your hands.
