Making Every MFL Lesson Count is a timely resource for MFL teachers and heads of department. Timely, as it is based on the belief that languages are increasingly important in order to maintain positive attitudes and behaviours across our global society, but also because it is rooted in some of the latest research on what works in the classroom - particularly in terms of pedagogy and cognitive science, with particular links to memory. The balance between theory and practice is great and this, in my opinion, makes Maxwell's work an essential read.
