Adopt-a-class
The Adopt a Class scheme links pupils in primary and secondary schools with MFL students on their study year abroad. The student is matched with a school and engages with teacher(s) and class(es) on regular basis using a range of electronic media (blogs, skype, email, etc...) during their year abroad. The Warwick Adopt a Class scheme asks students to respond to a range of specific needs and aspirations identified by the MFL teacher:
- materials to enhance delivery of the curriculum
- realia
- video and audio resources
- images
- online reflections (especially intercultural reflections)
- target language interventions
- partnerships with host country schools (where students are placed as language assistants)
- classroom activities
This page will allow teachers and students to find out more about the project and its ambitions. It will also house resources and training materials that will be of use for participants.
