Overview:
PPLI Communities of Practice (CoPs) are
meetings where teachers with a shared
passion for languages and language teaching
come together to exchange ideas, create new
knowledge, and share best practice. These
CoPs are facilitated regionally and thematically
and are held both in-person and online,
depending on the needs of participants. CoPs
are rooted in mutual respect and trust,
fostering an environment where teachers feel
encouraged to share ideas, discuss challenges,
ask questions, and solve problems
collaboratively.
Main Aims:
•
Build and sustain vibrant regional and thematic communities of MFL teachers across Ireland.
•
Provide opportunities for MFL teachers to connect, collaborate, and share best practice tailored to their
needs.
Activity:
In 2024, PPLI facilitated over 30 CoPs. 692 teachers registered across these sessions. The CoPs were mixed in
format - regional meetings, project-specific sessions, and thematic discussions - which provided a flexible and
responsive approach to meeting teachers’ needs. PPLI Associates played a critical role in facilitating these
sessions, bringing valuable classroom experience to enrich discussions and ensure practical relevance.
Thematic CoPs:
Topics included Open Night Toolkit, ILAOS (Intercultural Look at Our Schools), #ThinkLanguages, DigiTech, and
LCA support.
Most Popular CoP:
Idea-sharing for Transition Year was the most attended, with over 150 teachers registering across three nights.
Regional CoPs:
Hosted in collaboration with local Education Centres and schools, these CoPs provided localised support.
