Update from LFEE

Author: Richard Tallaron, LFEE Europe/PowerLanguage

This autumn, LFEE Europe continued to run Primary Language Learning training around the country, with methodology, language upskilling and resources for the class at the heart of our programmes. The formats varied, from online sessions to face-to-face or a combination of both. Please contact us if your school or local authority is interested in training.

We ran our usual immersion courses in France and Spain in October, taking teachers to Paris, Montpellier, Cannes, Malaga and Santiago de Compostela! These courses are funded under the Erasmus+ programme and have been accredited by GTCS. We are hoping for a new round of Erasmus+ applications next year, with a deadline of 5 February 2020. Please get in touch if you would like to apply.

We also lead a new training programme in partnership with two French local authorities: l’Académie de Nice and l’Académie d’Aix-Marseille. For this, we received massive support from Glasgow City Council, which managed to organise school visits across the city. The week culminated in a civic reception hosted by the Lord Provost in the City Chambers. Merci Glasgow!

Finally, a big thank you to the Pan Tayside team who helped us organise shadow visits for Spanish and French teachers and managers. Schools across the three local authorities volunteered to host our French and Spanish colleagues, and many of them decided to start a partnership with their European counterparts!
