With more than 50 years of current teaching experience between them, the authors of Secondary Languages in Action have created an accessible summary of research and thinking on approaches to MFL teaching, cutting through the noise of online debates and keeping the focus on application in the classroom.
Each chapter guides you through different elements of MFL teaching, covering all the skills but also tips on how to increase engagement, make the case for languages and enrich the curriculum, with clear examples of a range of activities and projects. The book considers how the strategies can be adapted and applied to any classroom, whatever your level of experience or teaching context.
Whether you're beginning your journey into teaching training, working as a language assistant, or are an experienced teacher looking for new inspiration and ideas, this is an essential guide for all MFL classroom-based staff.
