We would like to achieve our objectives through developing the project over two years. This would involve five members of our staff team (including two people who have participated in Comenius courses before) participating on courses in Spain which will develop their skills and improve the teaching and learning of Spanish in our school. The courses would be progressive in terms of staff development; the second would build on the learning developed in the first, and we would then use these new ideas and strategies to energise the whole of our staff to be involved in the development of Spanish in our school. Each course will have the same underpinning aims and values, with slightly different focuses depending on the staff member attending. Initially, the focus of the course will be for staff to develop better language skills and cultural knowledge- therefore directly impacting on the quality of teaching in Spanish within school. From that point, whilst these aims will remain for all staff, we will also build a deeper understanding of Spanish culture and the Spanish education system. Participants will spend time with colleagues in a Spanish school, so gaining a good understanding of day-to-day life in Spain, considering customs and routines. They will develop friendships with staff there which will mean that exchanges of resources and ideas can continue. Staff will also have the opportunity to observe the teaching of languages and other subjects within the Spanish school, therefore developing an improved pedagogical understanding. This will result in MfL being taught well in our school, through new ideas and methodologies, and more suitable activities for children with English as Additional Language and Special Educational Needs. There would be more support for literacy development within language learning, so leading to better attainment across the curriculum, with a focus on our most vulnerable learners, including our INA and EAL groups. The teaching of languages would become more creative through the development of new schemes of work and new teaching materials. There will also be the development of a blog space on which ideas and resources can be shared and of a link with a Spanish school, leading to regular opportunities to children to communicate with each other. There will be greater enjoyment of language learning, greater enthusiasm of staff and pupils leading to deeper learning and a sense of belonging to a wider European community.
