' We feel it is very important to encourage co-operation in the production of materials for busy teachers, and we intend to add to the list of available resources in future. ' - John Gooder, MFL Project Manager
'Talking Business' - Languages for the World of Work
La Defense, Paris business district
The 'Talking Business' Project is run by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council to raise the profile of language teaching and learning within the East Riding and Hull areas, and to produce materials and provide courses to facilitate this process.
It is aimed at schools, colleges and the world of work.
The project has brought together 26 language teachers who have been trained in the modern language needs of local businesses, and in the development of materials and teaching methods.
There are three Learning Schemes produced as part of this project, which while they are complementary, address the needs of three differing audiences:
- a) School pupils in Key Stage 4 studying languages as part of a structured vocationally-focussed programme;
- b) Young people aged 16-19 who have recently begun employment and are taking part in Apprenticeship schemes;
- c) Employees whose businesses see the need for MFL skills in personal. professional and company development.
Online Resources
This is a list of language teaching resources produced for on-line retrieval as part of the "Talking Business" project.
The resources have been classified and numbered by language within each of the three age-related target areas, though obviously the
whole range is available to teachers of each area.
The first letter(s) indicates the language, and the A B or C the target area:
- A - Key Stage 4
- B - 16-19
- C - Adults
The resources are cross-indexed within the Language Learning Schemes contained in this document.
In The "Talking Business" Section
In the "Talking Business" section you will find, using the "Talking Business" menu on the left:
Language Learning Schemes - a document which will support teachers in any of the above areas.
Lesson Plans in French, German and Spanish - to be down loaded and adapted by teachers.
Teaching materials to be used for French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Greek, Italian and Japanese in vocational language courses.
Most are at beginner's level and can be used in a wide range of teaching situations.
We feel it is very important to encourage co-operation in the production of materials for busy teachers, and we intend to add to the list of available resources in future.
Please feel free to use and adapt the materials for your own teaching, whether in school, college, business or continuing education.
