LanguageMeisterLab

With nearly 20 years of experience teaching MFL — mainly French, but also Spanish, German and Russian—and having worked as HoD, I’ve had the chance to discover effective approaches to engaging students, supporting their learning and building their confidence. This inspired me to create LanguageMeisterLab where I share resources to support teachers in these subjects. The materials are designed to make teaching a little easier, more enjoyable and time-efficient.
