Modern foreign languages teacher training
A great MFL teacher must be truly passionate, engaging and enthusiastic about their language specialism; overcoming negativity and apathy to inspire their pupils and really bring alive a country and culture that may be completely unknown to the children. Fast paced fun lessons that combine technical knowledge of grammar and vocabulary with a feeling of achievement and purpose.
