“Sharing good practice and spending time<br />
with my primary colleagues has really<br />
helped me think about the way I teach the<br />
pupils when they come to me in Year 7”<br />
Secondary MFL teacher<br />
“I’ve really enjoyed the MFL sessions.<br />
They’ve enabled me to access a language that<br />
I have had no experience in previously. Most<br />
of all I’ve really enjoyed learning alongside<br />
my pupils and I can’t wait to learn more”<br />

Pilot project schools and their LEAs<br />
The National Pilot Project introducing a MFL in Key Stage 2 has involved 118 primary<br />
schools and their 18 associate secondary schools. This work involved 18 LEAs and ran<br />
from 2003-2009.<br />
The following map shows a list of all project schools and LEAs which have developed<br />
expertise during the course of the Pilot. As you begin to plan developing primary<br />
MFL in your LEA or cluster of schools, they could provide invaluable information<br />
and share their experiences with you. There may also be other clusters of schools in<br />
your authority which are already involved in primary MFL and with which you could<br />
collaborate and share good practice.<br />

Resources for primary modern<br />
foreign languages<br />
There are many resources available to assist the teaching and learning of modern<br />
foreign languages in the primary phase. There are some very good published resources<br />
to buy and some equally useful and effective, free resources. This section outlines the<br />
kinds of resources that can be used and offers ideas as to where to find them.<br />
During the course of the Pilot, project schools built up a stock of resources for MFL<br />
teaching and learning in Key Stage 2. Partnerships between primary and secondary<br />
teachers facilitated cost effective use of resources, since schools were able to use<br />
materials already available within the secondary MFL department as well as in the<br />
primary classrooms. Schools were also able to share resources amongst the cluster<br />
where appropriate.<br />
When building up a stock of resources for MFL at Key Stage 2 as a cluster, being<br />
creative and resourceful with existing materials is therefore often a good place to start.<br />
Existing resources within the primary school<br />
You may find that primary classrooms already contain teaching materials which can<br />
be used for MFL (e.g. multi link coloured cubes and number fans can be used to teach<br />
numbers and colours, mini symmetry mirrors can be used to practice pronunciation,<br />
toys, puppets and games can be used to encourage communication and creativity using<br />
the language).<br />
The kinds of resources commonly used by pilot schools included:<br />
games toys digital / video cameras<br />
songs puppets webcams<br />
rhymes dressing up clothes internet<br />
poems maps + charts interactive whiteboard<br />
traditional stories multi link cubes correspondence from<br />
e-pals / pen pals<br />
mini bean bags counters older pupils<br />
flashcards dice visiting speakers of the MFL<br />
mini whiteboards symmetry mirrors parents who speak the MFL<br />

Part 4 Further help and support – Resources for primary modern foreign languages<br />
Sharing resources within the cluster<br />
Secondary MFL departments working in collaboration with their associate primary<br />
schools can share materials being used in Key Stage 3. These include software<br />
packages for MFL and online or downloadable resources shared through virtual<br />
learning environments (VLEs). If you are considering purchasing ICT software for MFL,<br />
publishers are often happy to provide free demonstrations and will be happy discuss<br />
how best to meet the needs of the cluster as regards fees for site licenses.<br />
CILT Cymru resources<br />
CILT Cymru holds a comprehensive library of early language learning materials for a<br />
range of languages, including books, CDs, videos, DVDs, games, software and publishers’<br />
catalogues. You can visit during office hours (9am – 5pm) and also make use of the<br />
multimedia facilities available. The library includes a section on research into early<br />
language learning and current methodology for reference purposes (schemes of work,<br />
teacher’s guides and good practice materials such as the CILT Young Pathfinders series).<br />
The KS2 section of the CILT Cymru website also has links to useful resources, including<br />
an archive of websites of the month for primary MFL.<br />
Other useful contacts for information about primary MFL and teaching resources for<br />
young learners include:<br />
NACELL www.nacell.org.uk/index.htm<br />
NGfL Cymru www.ngfl-cymru.org.uk<br />
The Primary Languages Training Zone www.primarylanguages.org.uk<br />

Published resources<br />
If you are considering supplementing your existing bank of materials with published<br />
resources, think about how they would complement the needs of the cluster, including<br />
the expertise of the staff delivering the lessons, the age of the children being taught and<br />
the MFL being introduced.<br />
The kinds of resources commonly used<br />
by pilot schools included:<br />
• audio CDs + accompanying lyrics<br />
and music scores<br />
• DVDs for MFL<br />
• MFL software for use on an<br />
interactive whiteboard<br />
• CD-Roms<br />
• games<br />
• reading books (big books / stories /<br />
factual)<br />
• dictionaries<br />
• posters<br />
• reward stickers / stampers / certificates<br />
• realia and props<br />
