Introduction to Scots language debates
4. Forum Discussion
Activity 6
Looking back at Activities 1 and 4, where you explored your own and others’ experiences and expectations regarding Scots language in educational contexts, this activity will be an opportunity for sharing your views with your fellow students on this course.
A
Write about 100 words summarising the findings from the baseline audit in your school context regarding Scots language, and maybe focus on the following aspects:
- your own views on teaching Scots compared to those you encountered in your school
- your school’s plans around Scots and possible reasons for them
- attitudes towards Scots you have encountered in your school and beyond, and their impact
- positives you can see coming from teaching Scots in your professional context
B
Then post your reflective account in the Course Forum in the dedicated forum strand for your tutor group, to share it with your peers.
C
Read the posts by other participants and comment constructively on at least one post you read.
