Speaking Stars in MFL

"Sometimes speaking is the activity that's the easiest to kind of leave and ignore, especially when there is so much content to cover - but I absolutely do maintain that it's so important, and that it's something we should be doing as often as we can."

Claire Wilson is back with another session, this time on Speaking Stars in MFL KS3-KS5 (missed her first session? Find it here!).

This session is all about tools, tips and tricks for building confidence in your students of all levels.

If you're keen to build on your speaking skills, hit play on the video above and explore the skill of speaking as we cover:

🎮 Different games and activities including Trapdoor, Mastermind, Connect 4, and Pass the Parcel

❓ Methods for preparing students for speaking exams

💬 Why speaking is so important in the language learning journey

🏡 How emphasising and celebrating natural speech patterns and language above textbook answers can help boost engagement and enjoyment of speaking.

"With practice and with routine, if you make this a common part of your lessons, your students begin to understand your expectations."

A huge thanks again to Claire for another informative and inspiring session. Make sure to follow Claire on Instagram here.
