A support for Devon teachers and beyond.
Welcome to our blog, run by a group of Devon teachers to support Primary Teachers throughout Devon (and beyond!) in their teaching of languages. Our aims are to share good ideas, practice and resources, as well as to update colleagues on what’s happening locally. This blog runs alongside the website www.devonldp.org, where you can find all of our our documents and advice about teaching and learning in primary languages. Just click on Curriculum> Modern Foreign Languages and follow the link through to Primary Languages. Although we no longer have a team of Consultants and Advisors, as ASTs and enthusiastic teachers, we still hope to continue the good work of the MFL Team and keep this blog updated! To stay in touch with the latest posts, please consider subscribing in the box on the right of the screen, or follow us on Twitter. You can find us on www.twitter.com/devonlanguages. We love hearing from people about what they have done and seeing photos of displays and activities, so please leave a comment if you'd like to share anything!

This is a personal account of a recent videoconference I had with my Year 3/4 class and our new French partner school. I've posted this not as an expert (I'm still rather a novice at videoconferencing) but in the hope of showing other people what we're trying out and how we're learning on the way! ;) 10th February: Battle ships We had our second video Read full article »
