1/3 Language teachers know that careers advice for students can be quite traditional -future teachers, translators or interpreters? If you know of a career path a language has helped with, can you tell the story? A Google doc for ideas for ALL to share: tinyurl.com/CareersMFL

I'm having roaring success with my Y11 French just setting 1 of the past or future bullets from a 90 word as a long starter (minus any time frame so they have to actually read it). Pupils are writing loads at speed and improving rapidly. Makes the real writing exam seem so easy.

In mixed ability sets,I always teach to the top, however, there’s a lot of scaffolding support for the low attainers:SBs. I do a lot of adaptive teaching:practice requiring short/long answers, target ss individually & always start from easiest to most demanding. MWBs work best

We have large mixed ability classes too. In Yr10, we teach high, & adapt resources to stretch the most able & scaffold to support lower ability (we use a lot of your wonderful resources!) As we get closer to the exams, in Yr11, I seat students in H & F & do more carousel work

For listening & reading, i use scaffolding & in Yr11 use 2 different tasks, targeted to H or F. In writing, we actually start simple and build up - this covers all levels & helps to boost the F students as they see how easy it is to add detail and complexity.

I try to sit a low ability with a high one. The kids actually help each other. It the same lots of Knowledge organisers, sit lowers nearer from so I can get to them quick. Sometimes I make differentiated sheets but not so often.

@MagicMfl hello! I’m trying to find schools that teach Italian in secondary (hopefully Midlands but anywhere could do) to get some ideas as we’re trying to launch it in my school. Hoping to be able to visit or ask questions, could you ask your community for help? Thank you!!

Quick wins updated on my website. There are about 65 on there with the last count and I’m constantly adding to them! Don’t burn out, take a break, enjoy your lessons and don’t be glued to a PowerPoint. Remember the best resource for your students is YOU! #yougotthis

You don't make languages more accessible via an ill-conceived word list & shed loads of grammar. You make languages accessible by ensuring every pupil has sufficient classroom time for MFL & through a focus on communication & culture @sweale #mfltwitterati

@MagicMfl thanks for the great idea about vocab learning. It made remembering the irregular future stems much easier for my Y9s.

Who do I need to talk to to get 'knows when and where to use Reply All in emails' onto the teacher standards? 🤷♂️
