They provide valuable insights into the various ways languages can be embraced. The videos are available on
a dedicated testimonials page of the Languages Connect website, which also features examples of how other
schools have successfully incorporated MFL through the Say Yes to Languages module.
Feedback
As in previous years, feedback from
school management and teachers was
collected via surveys and during school
visits. School visits typically involved
class observation, conversation with
pupils, hosting teachers and external
tutors, as well as with representatives of
the management team.
Teachers find the resources provided by
PPLI useful, easy to use and promoting
active learning. They also report a
positive washback effect on the teaching
and learning of Irish. Communication
with the families was improved via the leaflets included by PPLI in the resource pack, illustrating the
objectives and the opportunities offered by Say Yes to Languages to parents and guardians.
Some of the most recurrent comments and suggestions can be categorised as follows:
•
Extend the module to the whole school
•
More resources needed for teachers in the context of implementation of the new Primary Language
Curriculum
•
More training needed for teachers, to include foreign language upskilling
This collection of valuable suggestions has informed future planning and actions.
