The Professional Development Consortium in MFL invites language professionals to join them in closing the divide between research-based principles of effective language teaching and learning, and current practice within the MFL curriculum.

I am afraid I didn’t make it in time to register for the workshops but I am very interested in being part of this project. I teach Italian to children from Reception to Year 4 using a full immersion approach (almost anyway). The enthusiasm for language learning is incredible and the children have no fear.
I work in Bedfordshire Springfield Lower School, Kempston. If there is anything I can do to be involved, it would be great to hear from you.

We are also holding an additional workshop on Friday 28 September at the University of Nottingham – if you are interested, and would like to register, please e-mail Heike Bruton – h.bruton@reading.ac.uk
The workshops have been very well received. The important work begins now, however. in helping practitioners embed the Principles into their classroom practice.
