The winter edition of the Scottish Languages Review and Digest is available on the SCILT website. In this edition we have responses and updates to articles from earlier editions.

Dombrowski and colleagues respond to the article by Scott on language statistics in Scottish schools in Issue 29. Lindner and colleagues continue the story of the Chaoyang English Project, first written about in Issue 25. McColl revisits her own reflections on the Scottish Government’s 1+2 language policy from Issue 24 and looks more concretely into target language use in the classroom.  McCrossan reports on how the creative practices she described in Issue 26 have been developed further and applied in a number of early years’ classes across her local authority. Finally, ‘newcomer’ Price provides an account of how she introduced self and peer-assessment practices into her secondary school language department.

Readers can access individual articles or download the complete issue, which includes summaries of (and links to) recent language publications, articles from other journals and upcoming language conferences.

The Scottish Languages Review and Digest is THE electronic journal for language practitioners in Scotland. It is published twice a year by SCILT, Scotland’s National Centre for Languages.
