Clare English takes a look at the health of language teaching in Scottish schools on Monday's Morning Extra.

As ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland begins its 30 Days in Europe season, members of Scotland's modern languages community have highlighted the need for better language training for primary school teachers and voiced concerns that young Scots will miss out on opportunities snapped up by their more linguistically competent European counterparts.

I want to hear your experiences of language teaching so do call me if a knowledge of foreign languages has helped you in your business, or if you find it difficult to recruit staff with the appropriate language skills.

I also want to hear from you if you're a teacher. Has the teaching of languages improved over the years, or have we failed to make any significant progress?

You can call me on 0500 92 95 00 from 8am on Monday morning. Or you can leave a comment here.
