Dr Jim Scott, former Head Teacher of Perth High School and now Lecturer at the University of Dundee and SCSSA facilitator, gave a very important and thought-provoking lecture on Modern Languages in Scotland at Moray House School of Education, the University of Edinburgh, in May. It was chaired by Dr Rowena Arshad OBE, Head of the School, and was very well received by a large audience. Jim has published an article in theScottish Languages Review which is already stimulating argument and, let us hope, action:
