"The Scottish Government’s policy, Language Learning in Scotland: A 1+2 Approach is aimed at ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn a modern language from Primary 1 onwards. Additionally, each child should have the right to learn a second modern language from P5 onwards. Language learning is an entitlement for all from P1 to S3. 

Through their planning of a wide and rich range of learning activities in modern languages to develop language skills, teachers will support children and young people to become:  successful learners, who can reflect on how they have acquired and learned their first language and how this can assist them in further language learning;  confident individuals, who, through experiencing success and support, can interact with others in real-life situations, talk about topics of personal interest and deliver presentations in their new language;  effective contributors, who can work in individual, paired and group situations, and establish and maintain contact with other speakers of the target language;  responsible citizens, who have a growing awareness of life in another society and of the issues facing citizens in the countries where their new language is spoken.
