Speak for Yersel: Mapping Scots in the 21st Century Classroom Scots

2015年，苏格兰政府与苏格兰教育部联合推出了苏格兰语政策。它有两个主要目的：1。促进苏格兰语在课堂上的学习和教学；2. 提供获取相关资源的途径来做到这一点。这项政策导致了许多苏格兰语学习的倡议，包括任命苏格兰语协调员，他们直接与学校合作以实现这些目标。因此，近年来活动有了明显的增加，可供这样做的资源也有了明显的增加。然而，在一系列论坛上与利益攸关方的讨论表明，仍有相当大的进一步发展空间。具体来说，需要一种动态的数字资源，这种资源易于获取，独立，并且适合使用这些材料的当地社区。这种资源将最大限度地提高苏格兰各地教师和学生的参与度，从而为苏格兰教育部制定的苏格兰人学习目标做出重大贡献。在这个项目中，我们将与苏格兰教育部的苏格兰语协调员合作，提供这样的资源。我们将以最近推出的苏格兰语法图集（scotssyntaxatlas.ac.uk）为基础，为中学生提供一系列在线互动活动。这些活动调查了苏格兰人在整个苏格兰使用的单词、发音和句子，以及由此产生的社会态度。具体来说，我们将：1。创建一系列互动在线活动，学生将报告他们自己的语言模式（生产）和他们对他人语言的看法（感知）。生成一个动态的数字资源，比较和对比学生自己和他人的生产和感知。3.制作一系列的在线工作表，使学生能够反思自己和他人从上面1和2收集的讲话模式。4.在项目的整个生命周期内，在苏格兰的10所学校（300名学生）试点这一资源，为在资助期后更广泛地推广到更多的学校做准备。“为自己说话”项目将极大地扩展为那些希望进一步发展苏格兰语教学的学校提供的深度和范围。更广泛地说，它将使年轻的学习者更全面地了解人类最重要的能力——语言，以及它在我们日常生活中所起的作用。

The Scottish Government, in conjunction with Education Scotland, launched their Scots Language Policy in 2015. It has two main aims: 1. to promote the learning and teaching of Scots in the classroom; 2. to provide access to relevant resources to do so. The policy has resulted in a number of initiatives for the study of Scots, including the appointment of Scots Language Coordinators who work directly with schools to achieve these aims. As a result, in recent years there has been a marked increase in activity, and the resources available to do so. However, discussions with stakeholders across a range of forums demonstrate that there remains considerable scope for further development. Specifically, there is a need for a dynamic, digital resource which is easily accessible, stand-alone, and tailored to the local communities in which the materials are used. Such a resource would maximise engagement for both teachers and pupils across Scotland, thus making a substantial contribution to the aims set out by Education Scotland on the study of Scots. In this project we will work with a Scots Language Coordinator at Education Scotland to provide such a resource. We will build on the recently launched Scots Syntax Atlas (scotssyntaxatlas.ac.uk) in order to provide a number of online interactive activities for secondary school pupils. These activities investigate the words, sounds and sentences used in Scots throughout Scotland, and the social attitudes which arise from these. Specifically, we will:1.create a series of interactive online activities where pupils will report on their own speech patterns (production) and what they think of others' speech (perception).2.generate a dynamic digital resource which compares and contrasts pupils own and others' production and perception. 3.produce a series of online worksheets which enable pupils to reflect on their own and others' speech patterns as gathered from 1&2 above. 4.pilot this resource in 10 schools (c300 pupils) throughout Scotland within the lifetime of the project, in preparation for much wider dissemination to more schools beyond the funding period. The Speak for Yersel project will significantly extend the depth and reach of provision to schools who wish to further develop their teaching and learning of Scots. More broadly, it will provide young learners with a fuller understanding of that most crucial of human abilities, language, and the part it plays in our everyday lives.
