PROJET
TERMINÉ
As of September 2014 language learning becomes compulsory for all primary schools in England. We know that the new statutory status of languages in Primary schools will present some challenges for Reay Primary school because we currently teach French one day a week with specialist language teacher. As a school we reocognise the importance of delivering a high quality language curriculum that ensures there is good progression from year group to year group. In order to deliver a successful language curriculum all staff must be involved in leading and teaching languages. They must acquire the relevant subject knowledge, competencies and first hand authentic experiences that will be invaluable in allowing Reay to deliver high quality cross curricular language lessons. The objective is that all teachers participating in this project will acquire/improve their knowledge, skills and understanding of French and in turn Spanish language as a whole. French and Spanish articulation will be improved which will in turn improve confidence and effectiveness in delivering the MLF curriculum. All KS2 teachers need to be able to deliver French/Spanish lessons and therefore they all need to have the knowledge, skills and confidence to do so. The individuals who will participate in the mobility experience must display an interest in the development of languages at Reay Primary school and be have a desire to improve their own understanding and ability teaching an MFL. The participants' will have a clear idea of what they hope to achieve from the experience personally and what they will bring back and implement into their teaching practise. They will also have displayed a commitment to the teaching of languages in a formal lessons but also a willingness to develop language immersion across the curriculum. Participant’s training to develop their language competency will incorporate: speaking, knowledge and understanding of the French language via French language courses and in turn Spanish. This activity will supply the structured teaching and learning required, from a professional organization able to formally and reliably assess competency levels. The second activity is based around our partner school. A school partnership provides scope for professional development through the strategic planning, organization and sustained commitment it demands. Additionally, it is also an excellent way of learning to communicate in a foreign language, enabling progression in language through a common purpose framed within a specific context to achieve a joint aim with a tangible end result. A natural exchange of professional practice will occur when participants from our school spend time at the partner school, seeing how they approach the teaching of language and how their school environment and perhaps also their experiences impact on learning. The expected impacts are that language learning at Reay Primary School will become successfully embedded in our weekly curriculum, that the teachers across the school will be motivated, equipped and more creative when it comes to delivering the language curriculum through their mobility experiences of language learning, collaboration and the sharing of their pedagogy with our partner school. The professional development of staff promises to be phenomenal, as through all their experiences a new dimension and logistical expertise which they would not necessarily have otherwise obtained will be added to their remit. The school partnership is intended to be a long running union, inevitably resulting in field trips lead by the staff taking pupils from Reay to the partner school and vice versa. Moving the teaching of languages from strength to strength by taking a new, free and creative approach to the context and delivery of the language. The aim is, that at the end of the two years, teachers from within our school, cluster and LEA, will be come to Reay to learn about teaching languages, because our approach will be something that will encompass both creativity, immersion and an authentic European influence, evidenced by successful examples of joint projects that are varied, increasingly ambitious and unique. As a school we intend to develop the provision of languages to support pupils for who English is an additional language. Through immersion of different languages we intend to extend our curriculum to provide extra curricular activities delivered in different languages. When the school employs new staff we would be looking for staff who have an commitment to language teaching and are able to deliver exciting cross curricular learning that could include a language element.At Reay we would like languages to be delivered confidently by all members of staff and add an extra dimension to our already exciting and creative curriculum.
