Currently, all schools in Scotland are in the process of establishing the 1+2 Approach to language learning, as outlined by the Scottish Government, which is aimed at ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn a modern language from P.1 onwards. Additionally, each child has the right to learn a second modern language from P.5 onwards. The policy should be fully implemented by 2020. St. John Ogilvie has identified Spanish as our first additional language and has begun to deliver on this agenda in co-operation with our cluster primaries and receiving secondary school. As a school we would like to further develop our skills in this area, in order to successfully implement the 1+2 initiative to deliver language learning to our pupils, further enhance and develop our curriculum to meet the needs of our young learners and equip them to meet the challenges of a global economy and global citizenship. In addition we are keen to promote the value of membership of the European Union and seek to establish relationships with our European partners in education perhaps through the use of the eTwinning facility. A joint project would give our pupils a sense of purpose and real value in undertaking language study in a enjoyable and motivational way. Our pupils would benefit from the opportunity to communicate with Spanish pupils gaining a better understanding of a different culture which may encourage and inspire them to study another language.Four teachers from St. John Ogilvie P.S hope to attend the full Immersion course in Malaga, Spain, in summer 2016. They wish to participate in quality and targeted training which will develop their knowledge of the Spanish language and culture, as well as improve language pedagogy and introduce new resources including ICT. This, in turn will improve the learning and teaching of Spanish in St. John Ogilvie P.S in line with Scottish Government's expectations. In attending the course they hope to ensure that Spanish is embedded in St John Ogilvie by the Government's deadline of 2020. All four teachers are very keen to embed Spanish within classroom routines and contribute to whole school projects, in a way which reflects the accurate use of grammar and contemporary Spanish vocabulary. As a school, we hope to enable all children to speak and converse in Spanish, throughout the school, as part of their daily routines. The participants who have applied to attend are enthusiastic about language learning and have an international outlook. They believe that having the opportunity to study in Spain with native speakers will be a valid learning experience for them and will have immediate impact supporting the teaching and learning of Spanish throughout the school. The tools, resources and pedagogy gained from this course will provide opportunities for active and engaging learning of Spanish. It will encourage pupils to explore cultural differences and similarities, developing a sense of European citizenship. Participating staff will support a whole school Spanish Day in September 16 - which will, in turn, raise the profile of modern languages in St. John Ogilvie. Staff attending will keep a learning journal, take photographs and create a presentation to feedback to colleagues/parents/cluster schools, about the overall experience. With support from the Head-teacher, Senior Management Team and the WL 1+2 Development Team opportunities to share practice and participate in professional dialogue within the wider school community in West Lothian will be encouraged. We will continue to liaise with LFEE to help take forward a project using eTwinning to strengthen inter-cultural links developed on the Immersion course while in Malaga. Our Senior Management Team will monitor the implementation of the 1+2 language policy within the school and this will continue to inform our School Improvement Plan for 16-17 to support the delivery of languages within the school in line with the Scottish Governments 1+2 Approach to Language Learning. The impact of this training will significantly support the learning and teaching of Spanish in St. John Ogilvie P.S. It will inform practice within the authority, develop enthusiasm and motivation in both staff and pupils to value language learning and foster inter-cultural links with our European partners.
