MFL at Wildern School
Description
MFL staff at Wildern School have seen year-on-year improvement in their GCSE results since 2002. They pinpoint a handful of different strategies that have had a direct impact on results. Group Talk - an award-winning scheme to get their pupils talking in target language has ensured pupils are well prepared for the speaking exam. Boys have been successfully targeted with a number of different approaches; extremely active learning (both in and outdoors) plus lots of active competition and challenge with pupils determined to top vocab league tables. Interactive white board programmes have been devised, high tech gadgets are incorporated into lessons, and the department works together to ensure there's a co-ordinated approach to teaching and learning.
