The transition toolkit is designed to enable teachers in secondary schools to cope more effectively with the range of MFL experience in the classroom and so enhance students’ learning.
The toolkit addresses the following key issues:
- To acknowledge prior attainment;
- To offer challenge to all learners
It offers helpful hints on a range of various transition issues:
- Primary and Secondary Liaison
- Speak your Mind – an audit for pupils
- Strategies to acknowledge prior learning
- Strategies to memorise language
- A cross-curricular or multi-ethnic approach
This pack has been created by the following group of West Sussex leading teachers in MFL:
