PROJECT
FINISHED
This training will allow our staff member to learn a modern language in more depth as well as more methods of delivering French to pupils in school. It will support our establishment in meeting the guidance provided for modern languages via the Curriculum for Excellence in particular, we will be able to work towards achieving successful implementation of the modern languages policy 'Language Learning in Scotland: A1+2'. It will also be an excellent opportunity to form relationships with partners abroad. The pupils will be able to communicate with other school in the UK and abroad using modern technology. The project itself is an ongoing learning process which initially began in October 2014 and will continue into 2015 and thereafter. In October 2016 it will be possible for Newfield to build on the initial implementation. The LFEE will support the candidate support, during and after the immersion course. The objectives of the project will be to improve the candidates 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 out with Newfield for maximum benefit. There will be one participant for our school and her enthusiasm, hard working attitude and drive to succeed will ensure successful implementation of a modern language programme on return. The activities during the training will teach important vocabulary and greetings. It will immerse the teacher in French 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 France. Resources provided will be supportive and will include links to modern technology, games and exciting activities which will help demonstrate how best to teach French to the pupils. This experience will hugely improve the candidates 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 a 'Language Learning in Scotland: A1+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. Newfield will become more culturally aware and will be a lending school in demonstrating the importance of modern languages.
