Today I have tried to catch up with things after the holiday. I sent my contribution to the ezine for Modern Languages and ESOL. I was asked to send a letter of endorsement to SQA for their new PDA in ESOL Tutoring so I have spent a bit of time looking at the details of the course and then writing a letter. I think the award will be a positive development as there are a great many unqualified tutors delivering ESOL, many on a voluntary basis. It will also allow centres delivering informal tutor training to offer accreditation.
In connection with the SCHOLAR project I have designed questionnaires for learners and tutors to evaluate the materials as I am conscious of the fact that learners will be disappearing shortly in the run-up the exams.
Murray has put some updates on PP for me.
Next week will be a busy week with the first meeting of the ESOL Curriculum Working Party on Monday and the launch of the new FSVUs in Modern Languages on Thursday with a pre-launch meeting for presenters on the Wednesday evening.

Hi Lorna
Do the Scholar guys have any way of finding out if people are accessing their questions and if so which areas. It would be interesting to see what a difference the subject mentor link has made
Yes I am sure they can as each person has his/her own id and password.
