Our exploration of and experimentation with primary foreign languages pedagogy centres around three workshops. During these workshops we will learn about the latest language teaching and learning research. Evaluation and learning from our classroom experiences will feature heavily in each workshop session. Building on this developing knowledge, we will discuss, collaborate and trial existing and new resources . Access is restricted to collaborating teachers only although examples will be posted on this website.
