And possibly…
‘The Art of being a Brilliant MFL teacher’A 60 minute guide to the New National Curriculum in Languages
6 x 10 minute guides – Poetry, The G Word, Translation &Transcription, Phonics, Literature and Authentic Texts,Intercultural Understanding
Why?- Rhymes, poems and songs are enjoyable and
memorable! - It deepens children’s intercultural understanding - It allows children to reproduce language with
confidence and fluency- Young children are more often than not brought
up acquiring 1L vocabulary via poems, rhymes & songs – it is familiar
Why?- It is a natural and holistic way for children to
learn- Poetry lends itself to multisensory and active
learning and enhances receptive and productive L2 skills
- It helps learners to develop oracy and literacy skills and more accurate pronunciation (via phonics)
- It can be used to help reinforce grammar and syntax ‘painlessly’
10 ideas to take away
1. Poem-a-weekAim to include at least one poem (song / rhyme) into your existing SoL
2. Use ICT (such as www.storybird.com * ) to help to engage reluctant writers in MFL
3. One image many wordsChoose one piece of artwork and let their imaginations go wild!
4. Start simpleAcrostic poems and Calligrams are a great starting point. Once learners confidence grows, move onto Haikus and other more advanced types of poetry.
5. Poetry Slam!Turn it into a competition and have learners ‘perform’ their poems in front of an audience. This could be peers in class, in a year group assembly or even to parents.
6. Create a classroom poetry anthology Learners of all abilities could contribute to an annual MFL Poetry anthology. The final version could be printed / published and held in the school library and / or the web.
7. Poetry quiltCreate a colourful paper quilt wall display of pupils’ poems and art work (based on Barefoot Billion project)
8. Podcast PoetryEncourage creative speaking as well as writing using tools such as Sonocent Audio Notetaker and Periscope
9. Poet-treeHang pupils’ work off the branches of a tree like you would Christmas ornaments.
10. Longform poetryWith your older and more advanced learners, delve into sonnets, limericks, ballads and odes.
