The context for the project is the Scottish Government policy 'A 1+2 Approach to Language Learning' which has significant impact on all schools in Scotland with the aim that every child will have the entitlement to an additional language (language 2) from Primary 1 by 2020. In East Dunbartonshire Council all schools have made language learning a priority on school improvement plans and for Lenzie Moss Primary this is also on the cluster improvement plan. The objective of this project is to further improve the language skills of 8 class teachers at Lenzie Moss Primary and make them aware of current culture and teaching methods through attending immersion courses in France. At Lenzie Moss Primary staff have already participated in local authority PLL (Primary Language Learning) training for French as this will be the language 2 for all pupils in the school. All staff have highly evaluated the PLL training but have identified further training needs in this area. The school has plans to use this opportunity as a springboard for developing a European ethos within the school. Information on courses has been made available to teachers through the Modern Languages Development Officer for East Dunbartonshire Council and the teachers have selected courses after discussions with the head teacher. The immersion courses will give all teachers the opportunity to acquire new language skills in real contexts, engage in professional dialogue with fellow teachers and discover for themselves aspects of life and culture in France. The teachers have organised themselves into two groups in order to support one another and maximise impact on return. Four teachers will attend an immersion course in France (Salignac or Lyon) in July 2015 and four teachers will attend a course in Lyon in October 2014. A high level of impact is envisaged from this project because of the potentially large number of staff involved and the opportunity to more fully embed language learning into daily routines and classroom contexts when the teachers return. High quality learning experiences will be planned within and beyond the classroom and opportunities to link with other schools through eTwinning will be taken. For the teachers involved there will be increased levels of confidence and competence which will in turn have a positive impact on pupils and other staff. Both language learning and adopting an international outlook will be seen as something which should be valued and embraced by the school and the wider community.
