Modern Foreign Languages

In this course we aim to show Modern Foreign Language teachers how Activboards can enhance creativity in the classroom. The drag and drop technique, and a few well-placed images, can make language exercises more engaging for both you and your students. While language classes might once have involved a tape recorder, a television, a video, a blackboard and hours of preparation, now all that is needed is one Activboard, your imagination and a good knowledge of the resources available to you.

This course can be tailored to your specific level of skill and requirements. Our experienced MFL trainers can show you how to use sounds and video and how to make the most of the range of text tools available - all of which will help to create compelling lessons for your students.

This course is recommended for MFL teachers aiming for Curriculum Developer Level 2 accreditation.
