Primary Languages: Effective Learning and Teaching [Paperback]

Primary languages are to be an entitlement for all pupils in KS2 from 2010. There is therefore a need to ensure that trainee primary teachers are equipped with the required skills, knowledge and understanding to contribute to this process. This book supports specialists, and also non-specialist trainees with an interest in MFL, who may need to deliver languages across the curriculum, providing them with a clear understanding of the methodology and helping them to develop linguistic competence and confidence.An invaluable text for all primary language trainees, of particular relevance for those who will be delivering the new primary language entitlement from 2010.Brilliant idea to have QTS book on PMFL.This is a book I have used frequently in the past year with students and have recommended they buy.About this book
