KS3/4 Modern Foreign Languages - Pupil As Teacher
In this programme, we see how MFL teacher Lorraine Thomas has transformed her Year 9 pupils into teachers.
Each week her class from Holyhead Secondary School in Birmingham travels to a neighbouring primary school to teach French to a Year 6 class.
Lorraine provides a lesson plan for her Year 9 pupils, training them to teach the younger pupils basic vocabulary about numbers and colours.
She finds that the pride her pupils take in their new role acts as a strong motivational factor in improving their vocabulary and grammar. The sessions also act as useful revision classes, recapping basic language in a different and engaging way.
From a wider perspective Lorraine is convinced that the initiative stimulates interest in languages in the younger pupils and gives them a head start before they begin secondary school.
She guides us through the main points of the scheme, explaining how it was established and highlighting the potential pitfalls.

Girls, girls, girls24 January 2008 - 10:52The vidoe lasts 15 minutes.
Please do an analysis:
During how much time are girls being presented or speaking,
and during how much time boys?
Seems to be just another example:
Whenever it is about education, it's girls girls, girls.
There are boys too!
Why do you cut them out?
Why do you not allow them to speak or be visible?

I also thought the programme was very interesting and I wrote a synopsis of my ideas on the post 'Languages on the move' on my blog www.joedale.typepad.com

I found this programme very interesting. it is an excellent idea to ask yr 9 pupils to be teachers for younger pupils. the only thing that worries me is the pronunication. some did not seem to have the right pronunciation in the first place, and the younger the puils the better he will remember, so a carefully selected group needs to teach, not all children of a Yr 9.
