This ppt is for an activity I conducted with our soon-to-be year 7s on their transistion visit. It's a facilitated activity that encourages the pupils to (i) share their perceptions of the benefits of learning a language (ii) think about how learning a language will devlop their generic thinking and learning abilities (iii) reflect on how an MFL lesson, which they have just had, has fostered generic thinking and learning skills. It could be used with Year 7s at the start of their MFL career.
