1 + 2 The World and You
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Context and background: The Scottish Government expect schools in Scotland to introduce the 1+2 Modern Languages policy, i.e. all pupils from Primary 1 (pupils aged 5) will begin to learn a modern foreign language and a second language from Primary 5 (pupils aged 9). Fife Council - our local authority - set up a group of 40 pilot schools to implement the 1 + 2 policy in different clusters across the region - in towns, in areas of deprivation and in rural areas in order to get a balanced representation of all schools in the authority. Objectives of the project: Our school has volunteered to be one of these pilot schools . Our highest priority and main objective is to increase our teachers & apos;s competence and boost confidence in delivering exposure to Modern Languages. Number/Profile of Participants After a presentation and selection process 2 of our teachers were identified as having a clear need to increase their language skills to allow them to gain greater confidence in delivering languages as part of the new curriculum. Description of Activities: To complement the training provided by the local authority, the 2 teachers will take part in language immersion activities in Germany. The course content has been adapted to meet the needs of our teachers. They are to emmerse themselves in the language. Methodology to be used: As head teacher I will monitor the experience of the course - there will be an evaluation of participants by the course provider and a evaluation of course by participants: Through the evaluation of the course and the subsequent interview with each participating teacher I expect to get a clear picture of how successful / effective the course was. Description of results/impact envisaged: As head teacher I expect longer term benefits as we are looking forward to our teachers becoming more fluent and more confident in their understanding and talking of the target language. Our pupils will greatly benefit from an enthused teacher who is able to speak accurately in the target language and will learn about foreign cultures first hand. The teachers will be able to support their colleagues in identifying suitable courses/programmes for our school.
