As part of East Ayrshire Council's implementation plan for Citizens of a Multilingual World, the authority has encouraged in nursery schools and classes an approach to including the international dimension in education in the curriculum entitled 'Nursery Language and Culture'.

This resource is designed to help any nursery staff introduce a language and accompanying cultural information to their classes.

What's included in the resource?

• Early Foreign Language Learning and Culture - advice from East Ayrshire Council
• Teacher's Guide to the language

These audio files accompany the Teachers' Guide. You can save them by right-clicking on the link and choosing 'Save', or open them by just clicking on the link. (The files may take a minute or two to open due to their size)
