TY Beginners’ Modules
Building on the revised TY Beginners’ Modules in German, Spanish, and Italian, and the new French edition, a
module in Polish was reviewed and updated and a new version in Romanian was created. Work on Chinese
and Japanese modules also commenced with a finalised version expected soon. These modules are designed
for students who are learning a new language in Transition Year but can also be adapted for use with LCA or
LCVP students. Each module has a selection of tasks for students, and the teacher section at the front includes
a topic overview, task description, and learning outcomes.
Impact:
•
The new digital technologies course had good uptake, with over 70 teachers participating in the pilot and
more than 300 teachers registering for the ongoing course between September and December 2024
•
Redeveloped resources brought a fresh and updated perspective to TY modules, with links to relevant
content and age- and stage-appropriate tools making them more engaging for Transition Year students
Next Steps:
•
Encourage uptake of the new ‘Digital Technology for MFL Teachers’ course and continue collaborations
with Oide Technology in Education, particularly focusing on AI for MFL Teachers and language learning
•
Complete the review of ‘TY Beginners’ Modules’ in Chinese and Japanese and commence review of
Korean, Lithuanian, Portuguese, and Russian
•
Continue to review and promote existing resources such as the ‘MFL Teachers Talk’ podcasts and
WebQuests
