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

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

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.

Pink Martini- a perfect song for perfect tense

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

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..

Getting into the A/A* habits

This is to help students to learn the good higher grages habits. the test sheet can be used as a starter activity, lesson by lesson, to support students in retaining and understanding how to extend and develop writing and speaking. The test sheet can also be used to help students adapt to their own sentences. My year 10s really found it useful, I hope you do too. !

just to explain the conditional, set objectives and outcomes and guide speaking and writing about ideal holiday. The second power point contains two extra slides, one has demonstrated the easy and harder way to use the conditional , one slide is called 12 verbes avec le de as it gives you a chance to roll two dice, then ask students to write the matching verb onto a mini whiteboard using the easy or harder option

I designed this to go with Studio 2 Module 2 ( Rouge ) and this reinforces the vocabulary and grammar on verbs in the past tense that take je suis/ on est . This is for a year 8 middle to high ability and the slide with guided writing has colour coding for verbs stated in the outcomes ( most = pink verbs, some pink and blue verbs )

designed with grade improvement in mind, keeping engagement and motivation through a nice topic ( holiday ) , this will also be used to develop confidence in speaking skills and in conjunction with mini whiteboards. I am now adding three differentiated controlled tasks ( as I have a wide range of ability ) if it helps you ( for AQA ) Now with updated version and correction of accents

The text is directly taken from the brilliant website les petits citoyens and I made a power point activity with suggested activities to exploit this text from this authentic French online magazine. The last two slides can support in generating a debate on the advantages and disadvantages of Smartphones. U
