This training will allow our staff member to learn a modern language and methods for delivering this to pupils in school. It will support our establishment in meeting the guidance provided for modern languages via Curriculum for Excellence. In particular, we will be able to work towards achieving successful implementation of the modern languages policy ‘Language Learning in Scotland: A 1+2 Approach’. It will also be an excellent opportunity to form relationships with partners abroad. The pupils will be able to communicate with other schools in the United Kingdom and abroad using modern technology. The project itself is an on-going learning process which initially began in October 2013 and will continue in 2014. In August 2014 it will be possible for St Mary’s to begin initial implementation. The LFEE will support the candidate before, during and after the immersion course. The objectives of the project will be to improve the candidate’s personal linguistic skills and provide supportive materials and methodology techniques to deliver the teaching of modern languages to young children. This learning will then be shared with staff members within and outwith St Mary’s for maximum benefit. There will be one participant from our school and their enthusiasm and hard working attitude will ensure successful implementation of a modern language programme on their return. The activities during the training will teach important vocabulary and greetings. It will immerse the teacher in Spanish culture and provide many opportunities for discussion and reflection on how the materials will support the specific needs of the school. The methodology to deliver this training will include trained modern language teachers who are native to Spain. Resources provided will be supportive and will include links to modern technology. Games, songs and exciting activities will help demonstrate how best to teach Spanish to the pupils. This experience will hugely improve the candidate’s confidence, knowledge, skills and abilities in teaching modern languages to young people. It will also enable them to train and support other teaching staff. There will also be possibilities to share what has been learned with parents and involve local businesses to support and encourage a European dimension within the school. By 2020, the school will have fully implemented the ‘Language Learning in Scotland: A 1+2 Approach’ policy. All members of staff will be trained and pupils from primary 1-7 will have the opportunity to learn and become passionate about modern languages. St Mary’s will become more culturally aware and will be a leading school in demonstrating the importance of modern languages.
