Due to the recent change in the Scottish Government Language Policy for education we will be offering two modern foreign languages to our pupils through the introduction of the teaching of Spanish. We currently have one member of staff trained to teach Spanish by the local authority, however, we feel that attending an immersion course will improve the participants confidence in teaching the language as well as offering cultural experiences which can be shared with the children. The course aims to provide participants with materials and ideas suitable for teaching Spanish at a primary level, to improve methodological expertise in the teaching of Spanish to young learners, to develop cultural awareness and understanding of cultural Spain and to improve participants competence and performance in Spanish. As a school we have previously taken part in partnership programmes through the British Council and are very keen to take on a new partnership with a school in Spain. As the immersion course includes visits to a local school it offers opportunities for our school to make links with these schools face to face. The impact on the school of the participation in the course will be vast. Firstly, it will ensure that staff are confident in teaching the Spanish language before it is fully implemented into our school. It will provide us with resources and ideas to use when planning, assessing and evaluating for the teaching of Spanish. There will be opportunities to share experiences with parents which will build effective links between the school and the parents. Pupils will learn a foreign language through experiencing the culture of the language not just learning the vocabulary. In addition, it offers opportunities for our school to develop European partnerships and teach children about global citizenship. This will help them develop skills in a variety of curricular areas, such as; Modern Languages, Social Sciences, Health and Wellbeing and ICT.
