1+2 Language Training
Date du début: 1 juin 2015, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The main aim of this immersion course is to further the linguistic knowledge and understanding of the the 23 teachers and support staff within their set language. Our team have all previously completed the 1+2 initiative with training from LFEE. With the fundamentals of the languages already established and implemented across our Authority, a week long intensive development seems like the natural progression to take our performance to the next level. Being submerged within the language, culture and environment for a set period will really enable our team to develop. Whilst interacting with native speakers and colleagues alike, the team will be challenged to speak, listen and think within this language. Throughout this period of accelerated learning the candidates will be building a passion for the culture through seeing it in action. The knock on effects of this experience when they return to the classrooms will be huge for us in terms of students, learning and teaching, engagement and results. Objectives: Form a strong sense of camaraderie within the team prior to traveling - sharing knowledge and experiences, each participant will develop a full personal improvement plan. Detailing their expectations, aspirations and targets. All of these stretching themselves to get the most from this short but intense trip. Each participant to build links with schools, teachers and businesses within Lyon/Malaga during trip. Communication to be maintained after return and everyone will be tasked with running one cross-border initiative to the benefit their students - Eg E-Twinning, sharing group presentations through social media and engagement of local press from home or abroad. Each participant will assign themselves one to complete one task which they would consider to be outwith their current capability. Upon return - Establish an immersion course network across the authority. Gain GTC Scotland personal accreditation. The group will be assigned a program designed and tested by LFEE. Personal development is one aspect but the majority challenges linguistic development and cultural appreciation through a series of technical problem solving tasks. In the short to medium term we aim for staff to be more confident and more empowered to deliver the 1+2 initiative and curriculum for excellence. Within the schools we will see more engagement in langauges, better delivered courses and improved results at the end of the term. Longer term we believe this will act as a spring-board to lift the awareness of teaching languages within our Authority. Encouraging more students to further themselves in additional languages, promoting the 1+2 mentaility and inspiring more future to teachers to choose this career path.
