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…
You can love her or hate her, but you cannot ignore her. For those who refuse to believe summer is over, here's a mini sketch from the audace, Marie s'infiltre. #LaRentrée #MFLtwitterati youtu.be/oTKHxa6SW4o
After months of hiatus, excited to share we're nearly there! If you struggled with speaking this year and keen to try something new this term or next academic year, we built @talkietheapp for you! talkietheapp.com #MFLtwitterati #langchat #edtech

Inspired by the amazing @alenord Chat Mats I created this one for my Spanish 2 kiddos! Can’t wait to use it! #langchat #katyisdlote #JHSLote
💯 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
