Spanish Language Training Course
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The LFEE Immersion course has been identified as part of a Personal Review and Development need for one, particular member of the Modern Languages Department at Biggar High School. As the participant has previously completed a Continuing Certificate of Education in Spanish, but has, so far had limited opportunity to teach it within her school, the course will enable the staff member to refresh and update her own linguistic skills and competence in Spanish as well as her abilities in the methodology of teaching and learning of a foreign language. These skills can then be shared with the rest of the Modern Languages department, at whole school level and the associated Primary schools. As part of the school’s wider and long-term strategy of development, the school now wish to initially develop the Language for Life and Work they have implemented this year for senior pupils and also to introduce a taster course in Spanish for junior classes. It is hoped that in time, Spanish can be established as a realistic option for pupils where they can gain Certification in the language, the same as French and German. The course will complement the school’s strategy for the 1+2 in accordance with the Scottish Government’s policy and will also help to develop a sense of International Global Citizenship within our Learning Community. The school will be able to raise the profile of languages and increase the intercultural awareness by strengthening links with fellow European colleagues and initiating international activities with partner schools. As a direct result of the course the pupils will have increased choice in the languages being offered at Biggar High School and will also benefit from new teaching methods and resources, which will be incorporated into teaching and learning within the classroom. It is hoped that over time, the staff and pupils of Biggar High School will forge positive and long-lasting relationships with other schools in both the UK and Europe, using ICT as a main method of communication. Overall, the impact of this training will be hugely significant, both to the participant and the entire Biggar Learning Community.
