Inspiring Pupils to Learn Languages in the Age of Global English Language assistants and Scotland's 1+2 languages policy
Wednesday, 30th April 2014, 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
This lively showcase and networking event is a collaborative venture between SCILT, Scotland’s National Centre for Languages and British Council Scotland. It will demonstrate the impact of projects undertaken by British Council Foreign Language Assistants working in Scotland and the support returning English Language Assistants can offer to Scottish schools. The reciprocal nature of the Language Assistants programme and the mutual benefits arising from incoming and outgoing assistants are highlighted, as well as examples of best practice. There will be interactive presentations followed by a Q&A session.
There will be a networking reception before this event (during registration) that may be of interest to participants which will take place from 4.30pm – 5.00pm.
