Product reviews for Fun Learning Activities for Modern Foreign Languages

With the sharp fall of students in secondary schools opting to study Modern Foreign  languages in Wales and to a lesser extent in England Jake Hunton is to be congratulated on producing  an excellent tool kit at an opportune time.  The author has put together a wide range of Vocal Fun Learning Activities (VFLAs)to improve engagement and participation.  The focus is upon  encouraging pupils to learn vocabulary and practice using it by repeated recall.  The VFLAs will be of considerable benefit for teachers of MFL at primary and secondary level.   The ideas can easily be adapted by teachers working with ESOL students and teachers in Wales working to promote Welsh asa second language.  The key factor is that the activities discussed will improve engagement and promote confidence in the pupils to use the “language” outside of the MFL classroom

This book certainly gives ideas to enables teachers to gain the skills, strategies and  confidence  to promote more effective learning and use of languages other than their mother tongue..  This book will be a valuable addition to the resource material and framework to improve teaching , learning and achievement  in Modern Foreign Languages and Welsh.
