Description
Equips MFL teachers with practical techniques designed to enhance their students' linguistic awareness and to help them transfer the target language into long-term memory.
James A. Maxwell's engaging, articulate addition to Shaun Allison and Andy Tharby's award-winning Making Every Lesson Count series is underpinned by the six pedagogical principles common to all the books in the series - challenge, explanation, modelling, practice, feedback and questioning - and provides simple strategies that teachers of modern foreign languages (MFL) can use to develop the teaching and learning in their classrooms.
Written for new and experienced practitioners alike, Making Every MFL Lesson Count skilfully marries evidence-based practice with collective experience and, in doing so, inspires a challenging approach to secondary school MFL teaching.
