Language strategy warning

A LEADING language expert has issued a warning over the Scottish Government's strategy of increasing language learning in primary schools.

Dr Dan Tierney, a reader in languages at Strathclyde University, said the plan was welcome, but lacked coherency.

The warning is contained in a submission to the Scottish Parliament's European and External Relations Committee, which is looking at the issue.
