Teacher Survey on CoP Themes and Formats:
In 2024, PPLI conducted a comprehensive survey of all teachers on the CoP mailing list to better understand
their preferences for themes and formats. The survey revealed key insights into the types of topics teachers
are most interested in, as well as their preferred modes of participation (in-person, online, or hybrid).
Based on the feedback:
•
Preferred Themes: Teachers expressed strong interest in practical, classroom-focused topics such as
creative approaches to Transition Year, integrating DigiTech into MFL teaching, and intercultural
education.
•
Formats: While many teachers appreciated the flexibility of online CoPs, there was a clear demand for
occasional in-person sessions, particularly in regional hubs, to foster deeper connections and networking.
•
Tailored Approach: The results informed the planning and delivery of CoPs in 2024, allowing for a more
targeted and teacher-responsive approach.
This survey has proven invaluable in ensuring CoPs continue to meet the evolving needs of MFL teachers and
provide meaningful opportunities for collaboration and professional growth. It also highlighted the
importance of combining flexibility with targeted content to maximise engagement and impact.
Impact:
•
Strengthened networking among MFL teachers, fostering opportunities for collaboration and shared
resources
•
Enhanced engagement with specific topics, such as Transition Year ideas, boosting teachers’ confidence
and motivation
In a online survey, MFL
teachers strongly agreed that;
“It was very good & useful”
“The last CoP was excellent. Thank you”
“Really enjoyed the session. Now, to find
the time to incorporate the new
ideas in my classroom!“
Overall, the topics discussed were
relevant to their needs as
an MFL teacher
They had an opportunity to share and
discuss ideas during the session
They would recommend MFL CoPs
to other language teachers
‘Great facilitators”
Next Steps:
•
Leverage feedback from 2024 CoPs to identify emerging needs and areas of interest for teachers
•
Continue organising both thematic and regional CoPs to provide targeted support and foster
collaboration
