@thatlangteacher Totally agree 👍 promoting language awareness through metalinguistic skills are relevant to all subjects You can find some comprehensive language awareness resources to tailor for your context ulster.ac.uk/research/topic…
@MFLChat Linguistics? Specifically listening and speaking lessons will use all a lot of linguistic techniques; phonology, syntax, phonetics, morphology and semantics. Can be applied to every other lesson pretty much too. Roleplays and photocards exercise this well.
@thatlangteacher @MFLChat Our Y7s create an art exhibition with the pictures described and artist bio in French. #mflchat

@SenoritaGris @MFLChat Willingness to support department.
@Mr_Struth @SenoritaGris @MFLChat So true. This is a battle which unfortunately never stops. Even if you think you have convinced the head and SLT, new members of SLT will appear and can upset the applecart if they are hostile to MFL.
It’s interview season! @MFLChat #MFLchat 🙋🏼♀️ #MFLtwitterati For a language teacher, what do you think are essential skills a Head of Department should be looking for in an interview candidate?
Only four hours to go till #MFLChat looking at interdisciplinarity and languages 👇 Follow @MFLChat and use hashtag #MFLChat to be part of the conversation ☺️🙌

@SenoritaGris @MFLChat Willingness to support department.
@Mr_Struth @SenoritaGris @MFLChat So true. This is a battle which unfortunately never stops. Even if you think you have convinced the head and SLT, new members of SLT will appear and can upset the applecart if they are hostile to MFL.
@MFLChat Vocabulary is only ever tested in context ie within sentences or texts. Dictation/translation/sentence transformation (eg nominalisation) exercises… students can be given lists of vocabulary (and word families) to revise but vocabulary is only acquired if it’s used within texts.
🇫🇷🇪🇸🇩🇪 For anyone interested, I've spent the last couple of days compiling all of the news articles sent out in the MFL News newsletters from 2021 - 2023 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇩🇪 You can access them here! drive.google.com/drive/folders/… #mfltwitterati #mflchat #mflnews
@mrs_standing @MFLChat Would love this to be the case but we all kniw that our education system pushes kids to get the grades. Learning for learning's sake is a lost mantra sadly
@Cameron2407 @AStarSpanish @MFLChat @thefish64 @lewizrs Hmm. This penalises the quieter students who find speaking out in a group hard but are fine 1 to 1 with an examiner. Introverts do not do well in group interviews
@AStarSpanish @MFLChat @thefish64 @keiller_louise @lewizrs I think the content is brilliant. After all, learning a language isn’t just conjugations/vocabulary, but culture too. But there definitely has to be a change to the speaking! Perhaps only one open question and allow the teacher to guide students to cover bits they’ve missed (?)
@Cameron2407 @AStarSpanish @MFLChat @thefish64 @lewizrs I also think the content is excellent. But there is a LOT to cover properly. The grade boundaries are still the biggest problem i think
@MFLChat At A-Level - prohibitively high grade boundaries, especially at the top end
@MFLChat I don’t think it will prepare them any better, I feel it is too limiting in some respects. I do have students that absolutely love paired dictation though!
@AStarSpanish @MFLChat @thefish64 @keiller_louise @lewizrs There’s lots to be said about the A Level Speaking exam! Maybe even follow a format which most unis follow. Small groups (3s) that discuss photos on a topic and it allows them to ask opinions and engage in a proper conversation. Anything would be better than what we have!
@MFLChat Also the focus on communication in the new exam mark scheme means students are awarded for attempting something, even if it's not perfect, and that is reflective of real life language use!
@MFLChat I'd like to think that the improved accessibility of tasks (for example with rubrics in English) and some fairer marking, higher grades will be more within reach and students will be able to feel more successful.
