Skills trained in the minority languageReading, listening, speaking, writing and mediation (= all sorts of communication in which a language user acts as an intermediate, e.g. translation, paraphrase, summary)
Availability of the teaching materialReasonable; we have an inter-authority resource production base. The funding is allocated by the Scottish Government and resources are produced depending on priorities and sector.
Quality of the teaching materialGood, we now have resources that are of the same quality as resources available in English.
Developers of the teaching materialTeachers in the school or colleagues;
Translations or adaptations from other languages;
Publishing houses.
Remarks
Our main problems relate to staffing and recruitment. We face a lack of suitably qualified experts e.g. psychologists, speech and language therapists.
