A Practical Guide to Teaching Modern Foreign Languages in the Secondary School

A Practical Guide to Teaching Modern Foreign Languages in the Secondary School by Norbert Pachler

This practical guide offers valuable support for student-teachers and teachers in their early professional development. Divided into three sections it covers: key pedagogical issues and planning developing key skills, knowledge and understanding broadening your perspective. Teaching is rapidly becoming a more research and evidence-informed profession and the materials in this book are specifically designed to support developments in the (pedagogical) knowledge base in teaching. The guide extends the popular Learning to Teach Modern Foreign Languages in the Secondary School by providing detailed examples of theory in practice. These examples are based on the up-to-date research and practice. In addition, they provide links to relevant sources supporting evidence-informed practice.

'What makes this book so good is its practical design and clear layoutThe suggested activities contribute to a deepening of understanding on the topics presented while encouraging teachers to reflect on their own practice. The summaries provided at the end of each chapter give the reader an opportunity to revisit the main concepts. A good selection of useful websites is also suggested linking the content of the different articles with different online resources such as policies, related publications and video-clips ... I would recommend this book as a companion to developing teaching practice of MFL trainee teachers and NQTs, as it provides a well balanced selection of tasks and guidance for further reading and research.' – ESCalate, Higher Education Academy
