This is a PowerPoint I used in our MFL celebration assembly. It has recent quotes from the Independent and the Guardian about the importance of languages, a slide explaining how learning a languages benefits pupils, a Wordle type graphic showing the main skills that come out when you enter articles/surveys about language learning, a slide which shows specifically why students have been chosen as winners and some slides to add the names of winners. This could also be used on open evenings and around options time and also for general display in MFL faculties.
At least 3 lessons worth on the environment topic. Focuses on the top 10 biggest environmental problems in the world. Includes a video with transcript, gap fill and retranslation activity. Also included is a vocab sheet for one of the starters. This is quite challenging, so more appropriate for higher candidates, but foundation can also access it with the support provided.
A template of a newspaper which can be used as display in MFL departments, or for open evening. Customisable for your own school. Print out in colour on A3 paper. Includes up-to-date quotations from the broadsheets about language learning.
Is anyone else fed up of their foundation students not using their resources and writing whatever pops into their heads, or complaining that 40 words is too much?! In this document, I have written 10(ish) words for every AQA bullet point so far to show them a) It’s not that much per bullet point and b) they can keep it simple and use phrases from the resources they’ve been given! Fingers crossed it works!

This is a worksheet to be used in conjunction with one of the Deutsche Bahn Christmas adverts. It fits in nicely with the GCSE topic of homelessness. Includes a gap fill of the advert transcript. Comprehension questions in German to be completed in full sentences and a short translation activity.
