The teams at LFEE and PowerLanguage hope that all colleagues and learners are as well as can be during these challenging times. Please get in touch with us if you feel we can support you in any way.

Blended Learning: Teacher training around Scotland

Given the current context, we have adapted our teacher training programmes to offer a blended approach. We will be able to deliver these courses through online sessions and materials, supported by face-to-face training whenever it is safe to do so.

Storytelling online

We have been running storytelling sessions for young learners (P1 to P4) to support the SCILT/e-Sgoil programme of online language classes. Please get in touch if you want to organise a session for your class!

Developing International Projects for Schools (DIPS)

LFEE Europe, in partnership with l’Académie de Montpellier, will run two four-day programmes in October 2020 in Brussels, and in 2021 (date to be confirmed) in Lisbon. The aim of these events is to inform practitioners, schools and local authorities of what European Programmes are available for staff and pupils to participate in, to help them deal with the application forms, and for them to meet potential partners. We hope to attract teachers, advisers and policy makers from several EU countries. Please register interest with us as soon as possible should you wish to attend. The full programme is available on our website and funding for these training courses is through Eramsus+.

We are helping with the current home learning situation by making some resources freely available to teachers, pupils and their families. Please get in touch with us to find out how it works.

Take the PowerLanguage Challenge!

Do you fancy setting your primary or secondary language learners a challenge? Why not get them to create podcasts to teach their language, share their culture and learn from other young people around the world? We have videos on the PowerLanguage website to support learners in creating their podcasts.
