Supporting Curriculum Internationalisation: Chinese Language Assistant （2026–27)
We are delighted to inform you that SCEN is supporting the promotion of a wonderful initiative by CISS/SCILT.
SCILT offers all primary and secondary state schools the opportunity to have a Chinese language assistant teacher in their school/cluster free of charge in 2026-27!
Your teacher could help deliver L3 Mandarin to primary and secondary BGE classes, lead IDL projects such as Eco Learning Partners (ELP ) organise live-link ups with Chinese schools, team teach with virtual exchange teachers ( Virtual Exchange Teachers (VETs)), team teach with your own staff, work with small groups for speaking activities, support senior phase learners with preparation for NQs alongside the Discovering China programme (Discovering China) This exciting opportunity could complement or supplement any existing Mandarin provision you have. Having a Mandarin language assistant teacher could revolutionise your L3 provision next year. For more information contact scilt-chinese@strath.ac.uk for more details.
