The participants have been identified as being very suitable candidates to attend the French Immersion Course run by LFEE. The participants have limited experience in language teaching and it was identified during the Professional Review and Development process that in view of the introduction of the Government's 1+2 Approach to Language learning, new teaching methodologies and resources as well as the importance of cultural education needed to be the emphasis for the future. In addition, the participants feel that with French being the main language introduced in to the primary schools in our Authority, their knowledge of French language and culture would need to be improved in order to help meet the needs of the school in all aspects. The most important aspect being the creation of enthusiastic and motivated learners of all ages. On completion of the Course, the participants will be instrumental in developing the learning and teaching of languages following the Local Authority's strategy for the 1+2 Approach. In time, the participants will lead on developments to ensure links with European countries to further raise awareness and bring to life the cultural dimension of the language learning. This in turn would lead to connections from pupil to pupil and teacher to teacher in each country. This will also help in developing the use of IT as a learning tool for pupils and to realise its importance in making such connections. The participants would also be expected to encourage IT in connecting and exchanging with schools nearer to home, across our cluster. This will further help foster the idea that our children are Europeans as well as Scottish, British or Polish for example. The participants will also be expected to be the language "champions" within the school, acting as models of good practice and providing support and guidance both on an individual as well as a school level through in-house and cluster collegiate times for example. The ideas, methodologies and resources provided on the Immersion Course will play a big part in this. Knowledge gained from visiting a French School will also provide topics for discussion both in terms of practice and its education system in general. The participants will also be given the responsibility of co-ordinating the dissemination of information to parents along with the Head Teacher. This will be firstly in the form of a Parents' information evening where the 1+2 Approach will be delivered along with its rationale for their children, both now and for their future. Suggested resources, websites and activities will be made known to them for their own perusal. It would be expected that with increasing confidence among teaching staff, they too would be able to give some input about what is happening at each stage of the school if appropriate. A whole school approach and policy to the learning and teaching of languages involving all teaching and support staff and SMT in conjunction with the Local Authority is expected to have a considerable positive impact on the learning and teaching of languages. It will be designed to ensure increased motivation and enthusiasm in staff and pupils alike and make the learning more meaningful and relevant than in the past. The whole question of the European dimension being brought in to policy and practice will also serve to increase the importance of Modern Foreign languages once again in our society. The Head Teacher will rigorously monitor the participants work, both in terms of her own practice regarding the planning and school development as well as her own classroom practice in relation to all aspects of the Immersion Course she attended. The Head Teacher will also look for improved quality resources and ensure that these are being used and meet the needs of all staff and pupils Most importantly they must be seen to be having an impact on the achievement and attainment in the school. Continuous monitoring of the learning and teaching of languages (French) within the whole school will be measured through observations and the development of the whole school approach. It will be imperative that the participants continue to engage with the Course Provider's online network to continue the sharing of good practice on a bigger scale.
