Memory Activities for the MFL classroom

Course code: 
ML0043
Memory underpins every aspect of successful language learning.
Learners depend on their memories both to interpret spoken and
written texts, and to speak and write effectively. Without memory
they also have no means of developing in these skills. As language
teachers it follows then that a key aim for us is to optimise our
learners’ memory for language - to help them remember the
sounds, words, chunks, structures and textual conventions of the
target language.
 
This course will explore a wide range of practical and motivating
activities for MFL Classrooms, which can help with both making
language memorable,

 

Who should attend?
