In this episode, we highlight three great resources for teaching primary MFL.
Judy Hawker, NACELL regional support co-ordinator and primary MFL teacher, recommends:
Uki books - fun French-learning books
Sing and Learn German - CD and book combination
Animales y Contraries - colourful Spanish-learning book
Loads of FREE stuff here. I especially like the "Cultural Notes" section. There are both long and short versions/written in English next to Spanish Some have a native speaker reading the Spanish version. The "Pronunciation" section uses native speakers from throughout the Spanish-speaking countries. Found it from Discovery Education site.
Are we (teachers) going to become digital users or subscribers? For decades we have been comfortable using packaged instructional content (textbooks, etc.) to help students learn, and this was probably necessary in closed learning environments.
What’s to come of social networking? Will we, as a larger defining education community, come to accept social learning techniques and integrate them, or will we continue to fear and block these opportunities?
Just how much influence might I have, as a teacher, on the learning that my students are engaged in outside of my classroom and outside of the school’s bell schedule?
How might emerging ICTs enable more interesting and potent learning experiences beyond the confines of traditional schooling?
How responsible am I to pursue these opportunities or do I continue to follow the traditional role of teacher and leave tech and the networks to the “natives?”
