I am so excited to be thinking about the science of learning and how I can translate these concepts into my practice. Joseph Horvath Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership #tep2022 It reminds me of the research on memory as discussed by @spsmith45 and Dr Gianfranco Conti in their amazing book! #mfltwitterati

So proud of my Year 8s after a term using EPI. Writing with no notes or resources! #fslchat #mfltwitterati #langchat

It’s not what teachers do that matters, it’s how they think about what they do that matters. - Dr John Hattie #provocationconference Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership #tep2022

Of course assessment is an excellent way of giving the teacher feedback on what & who was taught well, but we should be able to then go back in the curriculum and revisit concepts to fill in those gaps. Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership #tep2022

Practitioner inquiry requires curiosity and vulnerability. To self reflect on our practice, to question our assumptions and to listen to feedback. Valuable lessons from Dr Amanda Berry #tep #tep2022 Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership

Textbooks don't help either: Their thank-you-next approach makes us think that after spending a couple of weeks on a specific aspect of language, our Ss now know it and are ready to move on to the next one. They don't. And they're not. @Prof_F_Henshaw #mfltwitterati #CommonGround

These two educators are truly inspiring! Merci/gracias/go raibh maith agat for all you bring to the mfl community. @liamprinter Dr Gianfranco Conti

Mackenzie Neale (she/her/elle) @mikeratkinson and I learning about the process of sending a letter in German this morning in our CLIL masterclass with @DrAndrea_T Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership #TEP22

I learned some German today in the #tep2022 masterclass at the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership thanks to the amazing @DrAndrea_T Der Postbeamte stempelt die Post. 😊

Learning about #clil Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership today I can’t help but see the similarity with French immersion schools in Canada. #fslchat #langchat Wonder whether CLIL teachers ever feel limited by their discipline?

My very first German lesson, happy to have the support of this nice simple sentence builder! #mfltwitterati @DrAndrea_T Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership

Great idea from NGV using artworks from francophone artists to do a picture talk. Endless possibilities for cultural and linguistic teaching! #mfltwitterati Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership

Are there any schools in Melbourne that have a full French department using EPI or CI or a mix of both? #mfltwitterati #langchat #fle

The expansive definition of language somehow gets reduced in our language classrooms. How might we help convey a broader sense of the concept of language for our students? #tep22 #mfltwitterati Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership
