As a former MFL teacher, Head of Department, Regional Subject Adviser and accredited KS2 trainer, Steve Mulgrew can offer a range of services to support teaching and learning of modern foreign languages in primary and secondary schools.

MFL-focussed training includes subject review, digital audio and video workshops, web 2 technologies and support for primary languages. The content and duration of such sessions is flexible and varies according to the schools involved.

Recent feedback on training events can be found here.

Going beyond one-off training sessions, we can also offer longer-term project support for school and local authority initiatives. Examples include:

• Evaluation of teaching and learning in MFL
• Using ICT to support links with international partner schools
• Advice on the selection and use of video-conferencing equipment
• Development of resources to support a specific programme
