Hello MFL teachers. I'm April. MFL teacher who took a break to pursue designing an app focused on an often neglected skill - speaking. After months of hard work, I'm ready to share this journey. I should've done this ages ago but Twitter can be a scary place. #mfltwitterati 1/7

With #speaking exams approaching, practice is more important than ever. Our students have been loving this game on the topic of school: 18 cards with 36 different subtopics. Cards and Powerpoint ready for you to download. Comment/RT for the link😉 #mfltwitterati #Spanish #GCSE

As we start the new term, this post explores my favourite apps/sites to use in MFL. Digital tools, if used strategically, enhances the learning experience and helps with long term memory storage. #mfltwitterati @joedale mflcraft.blogspot.com/2021/1…

“Problema” even though you think it’s feminine, it’s masculine as men are the root of problems. Something I was taught and just made me chuckle #mflchat

💯 I do feel we still have a long way to go to normalise speaking though. It's the confidence and self-efficacy that really need looking at. How do you promote self-efficacy? Maybe that should've been my topic... 😂 #mflchat
Replying to @MFLChat
I think there is real value to independent speaking practice at KS3. It boosts confidence and makes it part of their normal language learning process and builds their self efficacy for KS4! #mflchat
