 * Below is an extract from the Modern Foreign Language Experiences and Outcomes from the new Scottish Curriculum. **

 Learning a new language encourages children and young people to broaden their horizons as they explore the language and its associated culture. Through my learning of a new language: · I gain a deeper understanding of my firs t language and appreciate the richness and interconnected nature of languages · I enhance my understanding and enjoyment of other cultures and of my own and gain insights into other ways of thinking and other views of the world · I develop skills that I can use and enjoy in work and leisure throughout my life. The study of language plays an important role in all language learning and the development of literacy skills. I develop and extend my literacy skills when I have opportunities to: · communicate, collaborate and build relationships · reflect on and explain my literacy and thinking skills, using feedback to help me improve and sensitively provide useful feedback for others · engage with and create a wide range of texts in different media, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by ICT · develop my understanding of what is special, vibrant and valuable about my own and other cultures and their languages · explore the richness and diversity of language, how it can affect me and the wide range of ways in which I and others can be creative · extend and enrich my vocabulary through listening, talking, watching and reading.
 * Foreign Language Assistants will have a large part to play in helping pupils to attain these goals. **
