2. SESSION AIMS In this session, I will: focus on how you can integrate TL stories*, songs, poems*, letters and short drama sketches into existing schemes of work send you away with a better understanding of how to inspire your language learners to develop their literacy skills, in part, with the help of free on-line media share with you links to lots of ready made resources so you can immediately implement some of the ideas on your return to school

3. The New NC and PoS for KS3 Languages The new Programme of Study for Languages at KS3 states that pupils should 'read literary texts in the language [...], to stimulate ideas, develop creative expression and expand understanding of the language and culture.' Exemplification: TL stories, songs, poems, letters and short drama sketches

4. Guardian, 11 September 2013 http://tinyurl.com/language-teaching-crisis http://tinyurl.com/language-teaching-crisis ‘Britain's foreign languages skills are in crisis. During the past month alone, ministers, university representatives, exam chiefs and industry bodies have each voiced their concern as entries to degree and A-level modern foreign language courses plummeted. So few young people are learning languages that in 10 years' time as many as 40% of university language departments are likely to close. Where did it all go wrong for UK language teaching?’languagesministersuniversity representativesexam chiefsindustry bodiesas many as 40% of university language departments are likely to closeteaching

5. Taken from the same article: Professor Mike Kelly ‘Young people are bored with describing their pets and what they do at the weekend […] You've got to bear in mind that for 13-year-old kids, when they're making their subject choices, their decision depends heavily on what they enjoy studying.’ Conscious that the language curriculum is failing to inspire young people, schools and the Department for Education are looking at ways to make lessons more stimulating.

34. 3. Creative use of Poetry in MFL

35. Why? -Rhymes, poems and songs are enjoyable and memorable! -It deepens children’s intercultural understandingintercultural understanding -It allows children to reproduce language with confidence and fluency -Young children are more often than not brought up acquiring 1L vocabulary via poems, rhymes & songs – it is familiar

36. Why? -It is a natural and holistic way for children to learn -Poetry lends itself to multisensory and active learning and enhances receptive and productive L2 skills -It helps learners to develop oracy and literacy skills and more accurate pronunciation (via phonics) -It can be used to help reinforce grammar and syntax ‘painlessly’

37. 10 ideas to take away 1.Poem-a-week Aim to include at least one poem (song / rhyme) into your existing SoL 2.Use ICT (such as www.storybird.com * ) to help to engage reluctant writers in MFLwww.storybird.com http://mfl-storybirds.wikispaces.com/ (collection of Storybirds ready to use) 3.One image many words Choose one piece of artwork and let their imaginations go wild!

38. 4.Start simple Acrostic poems and Calligrams are a great starting point. Once learners confidence grows, move onto Haikus and other more advanced types of poetry. 5.Poetry Slam! Turn it into a competition and have learners ‘perform’ their poems in front of an audience. This could be peers in class, in a year group assembly or even to parents.

39. 6.Create a classroom poetry anthology Learners of all abilities could contribute to an annual MFL Poetry anthology. The final version could be printed / published and held in the school library and / or the web. 7.Poetry quilt Create a colourful paper quilt wall display of pupils’ poems and art work (based on Barefoot Billion project)

40. 8.Podcast Poetry Encourage creative speaking as well as writing using tools such as Sonocent Audio Notetaker and PeriscopeSonocent Audio Notetaker 9.Poet-tree Hang pupils’ work off the branches of a tree like you would Christmas ornaments. 10. Longform poetry With your older and more advanced learners, delve into sonnets, limericks, ballads and odes.
