MFL Teachers Talk
In 2023, PPLI created the ‘MFL Teachers Talk’ podcast and recorded six episodes in collaboration with inservice teachers. Each episode celebrates the work of different language teachers, in different school settings,
by giving them a voice and allowing them to tell stories from their classroom, including their successes and
their challenges. The podcasts were released at relevant times throughout the academic year.
