    King s Language Centre (LC) is a semi-entrepreneurial department with over 100 members of staff. It sits within the School of Professional & Continuing Education (PACE). It teaches up to 25 languages and welcomes over 6,000 students each year to a variety of language courses. It has two broad and entwined remits: to provide language teaching and support in a range of formats to members of the King s community; and to proactively pursue income-generating teaching opportunities with businesses, organisations and the wider London community. The LC also includes the Language Resources Centre which supports independent language learning with specialist language resources and work areas for students and teachers. In addition to a variety of learning resources (including grammar and course books, magazines, newspapers, CDs, DVDs and online subscriptions), face-to-face learning support, cultural workshops and speaking practice sessions are also available.

    About PACE

    Set up 18 months ago, PACE s role is to widen the educational reach of King s as an integral part of the King s lifelong learning offer and enhance the university s scholarship of teaching and learning.

The School sits alongside the nine Faculties of the university and comprises six areas: King s Academy, King s Foundations, King s Language Centre, King s Online, King s Professional & Executive Development and Summer Programmes. Each of these areas are well established, respected and recognised within and beyond the King s community.
