Overview:
To enhance quality and ensure consistency in teaching, PPLI develops resources and tutorials on innovative
methodologies, including exemplars of best practice. This work encompasses DigiTech tutorials, CPD
opportunities, the creation of engaging Transition Year (TY) resources, and promotion of existing resources
such as the ‘MFL Teachers Talk’ podcast.
Main Aims:
•
Provide a platform for teachers to share effective ideas for practical application in the classroom
•
Foster adoption of innovative teaching methodologies across all languages
•
Provide teachers with practical resources and tutorials to enhance teaching quality
•
Promote authentic language engagement among teachers and students through a variety of resources
and exemplars of good practice
Activity:
A wide range of innovative
methodologies were explored and
developed during 2024 and the
review and revision of current PPLI
resources is ongoing to ensure they
remain relevant to both teachers
and students. Collaboration with
Oide Technology in Education
continued and joint efforts were
made to promote the newly
developed Digital Technologies for
MFL Teachers course.
Digital Technologies for MFL Teachers
A new three-hour online course on ‘Digital Technology for MFL Teachers’, was developed and disseminated in
partnership with Oide Technology in Education. Following a well-received short pilot in late 2023, the course
is now fully available with unlimited access to registered teachers.
Throughout the course MFL teachers are given the opportunity to learn effective ways to integrate digital
technology into the teaching of MFL at post-primary level including how to enhance students’ listening and
speaking skills using popular tools, explore digital tools for assessment. They gain insights from videos of
good practice recorded in MFL classrooms, as well as from the experiences of other MFL teachers.
