The resources which are shared below, have been collated from staff who have taken part in ERASMUS+ Key action 1 professional development courses in either Antibes/Salamanca or Malaga.
The project set out to create an online space where practitioners can share lesson ideas and plans. Below is a selection of the teacher created or trialled lesson plans.

Le français actif – combining languages with PE
Language is all around us, and speaking another language should not be confined to inside the classroom. By taking language into PE lessons, it gives a real life context, ceasing to be a ‘subject’ and instead an integral and useful part of everyday life. You don’t have to conduct an entire PE lesson in French for it to make an impact. Simple warm up exercises can be really effective.

Spanish Phonics
Spanish is a phonetic language so once a learner has a good grasp of each sound and can then link the phoneme to grapheme progress is straight forward. Being able to read a word based on phonetics, helps pupils to move forward with confidence and to recognise how words are formed. Colleagues at the Colegio Delibes in Salamanca have shared links to resources which consider how Spanish children learn to read and how they are introduced to letters and link sounds with letters. These can be used with young pupils in your language learning lessons and include songs, rhymes, and tongue twisters to help pupils practise and master pronunciation.

Integrating MFL across the whole primary curriculum
Integrating and embedding languages across the whole primary curriculum will motivate learners and maximise learning. There is great value in using languages for ‘real purposes’ throughout the school day, particularly in daily classroom routines:
- Pupils can be greeted daily in the Target Language (TL). Any registering activity can be a useful tool in recapping small areas of vocabulary, such as favourite animals/colours/food/numbers.
- The date and weather can be shown in the TL in a prominent place and changed daily.
- Birthdays can be celebrated in the TL
- Common items/places in the school can be labelled in the TL.
- Praise and censure can both be applied in the TL
- Playground games can be played and supervised in the TL
Colleagues from the Association for Language Learning have kindly offered the following links.
