About this event

As a new or recent entrant to primary teaching in Scotland, are you interested in developing your practice relating to the languages - both home and taught, signed and spoken – represented in your classroom? 

You won’t want to miss SCILT’s ECT Primary Languages Signpost Sessions! 

Undergraduate and postgraduate primary education students and primary teachers 1 – 4 years post-qualification working in Scottish schools are all welcome along, especially if you are looking for: 

  • ideas and advice on how to support multilingual pupils and their families 
  • strategies for teaching additional languages 
  • the chance to network informally with others at a similar stage in their career from across the country 

Each month has a different theme around languages in primary. We will point you in the right direction!

  • 25 September - First steps in teaching languages in primary
  • 27 November - Pedagogies for multilingual classrooms
  • 29 January - Digital tools for primary languages
  • 26 March - Target language phonics
  • 28 May - Interdisciplinary language learning

Sign up for as many or as few sessions as you like via the 'Register' button above.

Registrations for each month close two days before, and the online link to join via MS Teams will be sent out one day in advance.
