I am currently a Head of Modern Languages in a large secondary school in the North East Of England. I also work with the local University with PGCE MFL students, an area of my work I thoroughly enjoy. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and have a particular interest in the teaching of grammar and of literary texts to develop reading, writing and listening skills. I am currently working on developing a range of resources to support the study of Le Petit Nicolas and the series of books.

the wheel ! My students love it ! try it to try and see who remembers what, the numbers could be allocated to students who are picked to answer questions about the lesson or could be hiding a question about the lesson. Can be class or peer activity ! Bonne chance

Pink Martini- a perfect song for perfect tense

(17)
Please follow the link on youtube ( pink martini ou est ma tete official video ) Lovely song for the past tense, parts of the body and even the direct object pronoun. The cards are for pupils to show as they hear the matching idea in the song. I have now added the audio file, I hope it works

Hopefully this will help in motivating students who can find it hard to understand the concept of story teeling/ naarative, it did help my y9. I used the card sorts to support ( the sngle words being the starter then used the phrases for sequencing to see if they could reconstruct the story. Could also read and ask students to show you the correct phrase .
Year 6 MFL Induction

Year 6 MFL Induction

I created this Power Point for an hour with the year 6 Primary pupils coming for their induction day. My aim was to work on skills and the resource was shared with all staff involved in MFL. The feedback given by staff and pupils was positive so I am hoping it will help others now.

using mini whiteboards effectively for AFL

(5)
a presentation to run with mini whiteboards to demonstrate ideas of how they can be used across subjects to enhance learning, making progress, keep focus, pace and engagement throughout a full lesson, moving through levels and grades. I will have to update it as there are more slides I will be using in the future.

les adjectifs et mon identité

using building blocks in order to develop speaking and writing, I have used and adapted the middle slides ( to be completed on mini whiteboards ) from a resource found on here and added learning outocmes and models for each level. Levels are referring to styles and levels of support used by students, rather than just using the tenses, I do explain that for level 5, a tense would be preferrable , like for a C at GCSE a tense or an attempt at it is preferred.

I found this which I created about 4 years ago ! Thought I'd share this as it brings good memories of my previous school, summer periods and welcoming the year 6 in our mFL department. Please amend for your own use and do what you want with it, I used a mini soft ball as well etc.. card sort etc.. I have added the story, apologies for leaving it late for those who asked, you can exploit this in many ways, listening for gist then reading for gist etc..

La COP 21 Listening and reading comprehension on climate change

I will try this with my year 11. Think they will like it. Visit the French website 1 jour 1 actu. play the clip ( in Informations animees ), it is the clip from Monday 30/11. the use the activities attached as you wish. The stater sheet will help students familiarise themselves with the script but you may wish to use it as a plenary rather than as a starter, this will depend on your groups ( A Level should cope with it as a starter ). Then complete all activities or even use the script with the first listening, then remove it gradually. offer the vocabulary search once students are more confident , it can be done with or without the script. I have put first letters of each words needed in French for guidance.
