✨New Post: What can and can’t a Book Look tell us ? ✨A neat, colour-coded exercise book doesn’t always mean real learning or progress. In MFL, so much of what matters : speaking, listening, interaction, confidence can’t be captured on a page... www.fraubastowmfl.co.uk/post/what-do...

May @linguascope.com webinars include incredible power houses of the languages world @fraubastowmfl.bsky.social Lucy Dreznin & Nadine Chadier so excited for the May's @linguascope.com webinars #mfltwitterati #mflchat #langchat Silvia bit.ly/3ScACHO Lucy bit.ly/4lOg5al Nadine bit.ly/3RFqmru

This is very interesting for educators. I can't help thinking that we need to focus more on environments which encourage children in talking and thinking about languages. Motivation is at the heart of communication.

Looking forward to this event. I will be talking about 'Developing spontaneity and fluency in speaking'. Tickets: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/researched... #mflsky

Sunny day in Berlin today🌞

🧠Not all words are created equal. After hearing Paul Nation speak, I’ve been rethinking how we teach vocabulary and why frequency has to shape what we do. ✨Key takeaways, ideas & why fewer words (taught better) might be the way forward 👉 #mflsky

Thank you @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Really enjoying the Netflix series “Die Kaiserin” (“The Empress”) about Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) of Austria. Currently watching season 2. Excellent cast notably Devrim Lingnau as Sisi. Both the costumes and the locations are sumptuous. Elisabeth was a fascinating, feisty and formidable woman.

On the way to the @all4languages.bsky.social council meeting. It's wet and windy but looking forward to catching up and planning for the next year #mflsky
