Description

Recommendation 16 of the ‘1+2 Report’ states:

‘The Working Group recommends that schools provide all young people with flexible opportunities and encouragement to study more than one modern language to the level of a National Qualification Unit or course, in the senior phase, whether in their own school or through cluster arrangements with other schools.’

Would you like to:

  • expand provision in the senior phase?
  • boost the number of young people continuing with a language beyond the broad general education?
  • hear what others are doing and have an opportunity to discuss possibilities with colleagues?

If so, you may find inspiration at this senior phase learning event in Aberdeen.
Each event will have three different speakers talking about the courses they offer in the senior phase. They will say what they do to attract young people to study languages. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion with colleagues and representatives from SCILT and Education Scotland.

Our vision is to promote and support the delivery of high quality language learning within a climate which celebrates all languages. Scotland is already a multi-cultural society where many languages are spoken. This includes indigenous, Scottish languages and those originating from further afield. We want to play our part in ensuring that all languages and cultures are valued and that life-long language learning is recognised as a key skill for life and work. Our vision is one where language skills make a significant contribution to a fairer, smarter and more successful Scotland.
