Why do we still introduce new language from a board?

- because it aids memorisation?- because we’ve got an interactive whiteboard?!- because that’s what we’ve always done?!?!

How varied is this?

How thought-provoking is it?

Beware the technology!

Your project brief

Exeter City FC is interested in signing a 26 year old French striker on a free transfer.

Leyton Orient and York are also both interested.

He left Ligue 3 club Strasbourg at the end of last season after 4 years, scoring 56 goals in 148 games.

He is married with 3 children (aged 7, 5 and 2)

Your 2 challenges today

Challenge 1

• Create a multimedia video in FRENCH to attract the striker to Exeter City- no longer than 2 minutes.• This video will be uploaded to a blogwww.europeandayoflanguages2013.wordpress.com• The video with the most views by 12 midday, Wednesday 2nd October will win.

Your 2 challenges today

Challenge 2

• Create a separate, different presentation in FRENCH to lure the player in person- no more than 3 minutes.• You will be presenting this in front of the other teams at 1.00 THIS AFTERNOON.• This must be business-like. You will be cut off at 3 minutes and all team members must speak.

Going forwards

When you leave today it will be YOUR responsibility to develop to drive traffic to your video.

Ideas...• Posters around school• School website?• QR codes?• Speak to family / friends / neighbours

We are looking to run this across various venues next year- anyone interested?

What other topics do you hate teaching?

- How could we twist it and let the students be creative?- What support would you need to provide?
