Our project's aims and objectives are to:• Up-skill the remaining staff within our school by engaging in professional dialogue with our colleagues and to provide them with support.• Share resources and teaching methodologies of the Spanish language and culture.• Enable our children to be able to communicate confidently in another language and strengthen their understanding of inter-cultural issues.• Share good practice and implement a variety of international activities that can be carried out with our European partners (e-twin school).The participants wishing to attend the language course are:• Participant 1: Has completed a 14 week Professional language learning course in French language and culture provided by West Lothian Council and has obtained an SQA Access 3 in Spanish language and culture.• Participant 2: Intermediate 2 qualification (High school qualification, Scotland), as well as a 6 week professional learning IPL course on how to teach Spanish in class, including how to use ICT to teach Spanish, various topics to cover and games to use.• Participant 3: will have completed Professional language learning course in Spanish language and culture, course provided by West Lothian council. (This will be a third language as the participant has a diploma in Irish language, and taught said language as a part of everyday language, when teaching in primary school. In the same style as the 1 + 2 policy wishes languages to be delivered in Scottish schools.)• Participant 4: Has already completed a 14 week Professional language learning course in Spanish language and culture course provided by West Lothian council. • Between the four members of staff wishing to attend the Spanish language course we cover all levels within the Scottish primary system i.e. early, first and second level and Participant 1 who teaches across all of the stages from nursery through to P7.The methodologies we aim to use are:• Contribute to meeting the needs of staff in terms of training and sharing teaching methodologies and Spanish culture.• Train the remaining staff through CPD twilight sessions. • Organise and host learning showcase events within the school. • Run an information event for parents to engage them with the 1+2 strategy.• Create a school policy which will be put in place for session 2016-2017.• Have curriculum development days with staff to help them develop their knowledge and skills in the Spanish language.• Team teach, and provide staff with opportunities to work alongside other members of staff to encourage the skills and knowledge in teaching Spanish.• Have a Spanish themed week which will allow the children to take part in fun engaging activities to broaden their understanding of the culture and language. • We envisage the expected impact to be that:• We will continue to carry out continual professional development courses for staff in our school.• We hope to gain more resources and use the recourses on-line for us to engage children in their learning of modern languages.• Promote and advertise the importance of languages and our link with the European Dimension and how vital it is to continue to encourage the language within our school and community. • Continue to uphold languages and its importance through weekly blog posts on our school blog, involving the local newspaper of the activities we have been organising through social media using our school website and continue to communicate our development to colleagues and parents.• Put training and teaching of languages in school plan – together we will plan to create language plans across all stages and make them accessible to all. • Peer observations • Encourage other staff within the school to attend professional language learning courses.• Have curriculum development days with staff to help them develop their knowledge and skills in Spanish.• Team teaching, working alongside other members of staff to encourage the skills and knowledge in teaching Spanish.• Have a Spanish themed week which will allow the children to take part in fun engaging activities to broaden their understanding of the culture and language. The potential long term benefits are:• We will become a multi-lingual school and develop relationships with our European partners and schools.• To encourage our children to broaden their horizons as they explore the Spanish language and its associated culture.• That our children will gain a deeper understanding of their first language and appreciate the richness and interconnected nature of all languages through the learning of another language.• Enhance the children’s understanding and enjoyment of other cultures and of their own and will enable them to gain insights into other ways of thinking and other views of the world.• Help our children to develop skills that they can use and enjoy in work and leisure throughout their life.
