Boredom is the birthplace of creativity (Full blog on Instagram) Happy time off fellow teachers, when we give ourselves permission to do nothing, we make room for everything else 🙏🏽

Be comfortable with silence after asking a question. Students are processing, rehearsing, or building confidence. Offer a choice, scaffold, rephrase, re-explain. Come back to students who have struggled. Give them a chance to shine later in the lesson.

Come and join me and @linguascope.com for a free webinar on #alevelfrench. We’ll talk about autonomy, essay writing, confidence in speaking, teaching translation, summary techniques and many more 👌 Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Another powerful day of thought provoking discussions around teaching vocab and grammar yesterday with an MFL team. Time to write the report and create personalised resources for the team to support their journey of developing speaking skills. #mfl #mflteaching #mflspeaking

When you focus on #modelling you help visualise the process, you give a strong starting point and you keep students active and engaged. #mflbluesky #langchat #teachersoflanguages #languages

When you use the #targetlanguage, you naturally filter your instructions into clear, simple familiar phrases for students. You build their confidence and support their cognitive load. #mflbluesky #languageteachers #edusky #langchat #mfl #teachersoflanguages #languages

I'm running this webinar about adaptive teaching on 18th June. Pay what you can to attend. Hope you can join me. Please repost. Thank you! 🙏🏻 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-ultima...

💬 What’s the one thing that made your A-Level students more independent this year? For me, it’s heavy modelling. More anticipating 👉 less reacting, correcting and adjusting. Curious to hear how you build autonomy in your A-Level classroom. 👇 #MFLbluesky #FrenchAlevel #TeamMFL

So much life inspiration at @sxsw London today. Energising, vibrant, human and lots of food for thought. #creativemind #sxsw #bebold

Celebrating this special achievement 😇 Thank you @collegeofteaching.bsky.social

🌟 We are really proud of the diverse cultures represented in our #Spanish booklets, but to hear that, as a result of reading these texts, some exceptional Y10s have requested a "trial A Level Spanish lesson" is *chef's kiss* 🌟 #edi #mflbluesky

Yes, thank you. I have recommended you for the show 😊

Amazing time on @ttradioofficial.bsky.social talking about the value of Language Assistants with @mrdlester.bsky.social and the panel, very inspiring stories! I wrote a guest blog post last year on @fraubastowmfl.bsky.social 's website, for ideas on how to use/support LAs. All links in comments :)

I'm delighted to be a guest on the show @ttradioofficial.bsky.social and contribute to the discussion on The Impact and Value of Hosting Modern Language Assistants in UK Schools. Wednesday 02/04 6pm @britishcouncil.bsky.social #MFLbluesky #LanguageLearning #MFL youtube.com/live/ZSGoPiz...

A lot of fun practising role play conversations for GCSE French. Never too old to play and imagine conversations! Directions ✅ Reporting issue at the police station ✅ Ordering food at the market ✅ True or false listening: “Dans ma ville, il y a…” ✅ #creativeteaching #mfl #languages

Practise listening in a meaningful way. 🏆Don't use tasks in an isolated way. ⛳Check your script, include elements from the 🎧 task in your starter. 🥇Plan for scaffolded pre-🎧 tasks 🔜 success. 🎪Get students to anticipate the story before they start 🎧. #mflbluesky #languages #mfl #listening

Ça me paraît incroyable que la justice doive intervenir et que ça ne leur vient pas à l’esprit de le faire eux-même! Ils ont 3 mois pour le renommer. 🫢🤔

We know Blue Monday is bogus, but we all need to be aware of our mental health and learn when to take a break. #bluemonday

I've enjoyed reflecting on listening as a skill, with all its challenges and what we can do as learners/ teachers to overcome these challenges, as I prepare for my upcoming webinar on listening skills with @wendyadeniji.bsky.social. I'm very excited that over 130 teachers have signed up so far 🙏

I absolutely love this story. Some nursery kids in Glasgow were scared after a break in so staff colluded with local police to “arrest” The Grinch. The kids even helped catch him 💚 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Finished my recordings for @wendyadeniji.bsky.social I definitely got better and it was a fun experience. Awkward to listen back (Who likes listening to their own voice?!) but Wendy said I’ve got a lovely voice! Can’t wait to see the final product, over to Wendy for editing now 👍🎧 #mflbluesky

Taking an exam as part of the Professional knowledge award with @collegeofteaching.bsky.social and the teacher in the video extract is a former colleague and the class was then my form. What are the odds! Felt strange providing feedback! 😂

If I was picking person of the year, without a shadow of a doubt, it would be Gisele Pelicot. She has and will change things around the world.

France TV Info has a massive archive of news reports. For A-level, just choose very carefully for length, relevance and clarity. A good recommendation for independent listening. www.francetvinfo.fr/archives/

📢 AQA GCSE MFL teachers: The 2nd set of sample assessment materials (SAMS) for the new GCSEs is now on Centre Services, ready for Y11 mocks. Additional practice questions also available! Sample lesson plans coming spring 2025. I created the Spanish ones, so I hope they’re useful 🤩 #MFLBlueSky
