LANGUAGES LEARNING MATTERS WHAT DO WE EXPECT ? • The link between English and Spanish schools will enable the English teachers to carry out detailed planning sessions with partner schools and begin the implementation of the Language Framework. • Teachers will grow in confidence, and not only has their own subject knowledge been increased but also their cultural awareness, and in particular their understanding of how the two different education systems operate. • The Spanish speaking children are further motivated to learn the language as they are able to enjoy the practical experience of exchanging information and communicating meaningfully with the English children.

  20. LANGUAGES LEARNING MATTERS WHAT DO WE EXPECT ? • The English speaking children are motivated to learn the language not just because it is a new area of learning within their school lessons but because it is a very practical, concrete learning experience due to the fact they are linked with children from a Spanish school. • The sharing of ideas, resources, books and cards, will increase the interest in learning the language and gives real purpose to their learning experiences.
