We’ve had a busy term as always in the languages faculty. We have been focussing on lots of vocabulary quizzing to help us assess students’ knowledge and understanding. This enables us to plan our lessons and intervention where it is most needed. The tools we find most useful are Quizlet www.quizlet.com and Quizizz www.quizizz.com

Zac, a student in Year 7 says, ‘I recently joined Oathall in September as a Year 7 student. The languages I am currently learning are French and Spanish. I have previously studied the two languages at primary school and I am definitely enjoying learning them greater depth. For homework, we use a website called Quizlet, which I find accelerates my progress and helps me achieve more. The MFL teachers are really supportive and are prepared to help us be the best we can.’

Lucy, also in Year 8 says, ‘I like that in one language lesson, you can learn so much. I enjoy the lessons because of the engaging games and activities. The teachers really get you involved as a class, in small groups and with partners. Sometimes it is important to learn in a group, and that really helps me to learn!’

Nathan, a Year 11 student says, ‘Learning French and Spanish at Oathall has a well constructed and organised structure to it and I feel I know exactly what I need to do to earn the highest marks possible. I can fully understand what we have covered in every lesson with the enjoyable techniques used to help students learn and remember the vocabulary and grammar.’

I also find the great range of online resources really useful - especially Quizlet, which I use to learn all of my vocabulary.’
