I have been teaching languages in London for a good few years now from Bromley to Greenwich to Wandsworth. Now I am in the East End. I have also worked as a Lead Practitioner for Languages for the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust through which I met many inspirational teachers of languages, most notably Helen Myers, Rachel Hawkes (a goddess of MFL teaching) and Lesley Welsh.
You will see that most of the things I post are in Spanish as this is what I teach - no French at all on my timetable. I will endeavour to redress the balance whenever I can. Nevertheless, the ideas can be adapted in some cases to other languages.
I am really interested in the use of technology and incorporating cultural understanding into lessons as well as finding new contexts for presenting language.
