Tried and Tested: The ultimate guide to teaching primary languages

Supporting you to prepare for Ofsted ‘deep dives’ into modern foreign languages, Tried and Tested offers practical, easy-to-implement ideas and strategies for teaching and leading MFL in primary school. Wendy Adeniji and Juliet Park provide a huge number of classroom ideas, with real examples in French and Spanish so you can see how they work in practice. Challenge, differentiation and mixed-age teaching are covered, as well as how to motivate children to learn a foreign language and how to teach vocabulary, phonics and grammar.

Linked to the 2019 Ofsted inspection framework and in line with the key stage 2 national curriculum programme of study, Tried and Tested explores memory and cultural capital, as well as innovative strategies for using stories and songs. You will learn how to assess progress using age-related expectations and will be provided with access to real examples of lesson plans, curriculum-planning documents and resources.
