Making Every MFL Lesson Count: Six principles to support modern foreign language teaching
James A. Maxwell's Making Every MFL Lesson Count: Six principles to support modern foreign language teaching shows modern foreign languages (MFL) teachers how they can take their students on a learning journey that both educates and inspires.
Writing in the practical, engaging style of the award-winning Making Every Lesson Count, experienced MFL teacher James A. Maxwell empowers educators with the strategies and know-how to boost their students' attainment, engagement and enthusiasm in the MFL classroom.
Making Every MFL Lesson Count is underpinned by six pedagogical principles challenge, explanation, modelling, practice, feedback and questioning and helps MFL teachers ensure that students leave their lessons with richer vocabulary, a better grasp of grammar and the skills and confidence to put the language learnt into practice. Bursting with templates, examples and flexible frameworks, this gimmick-free guide provides educators with a range of practical techniques designed to enhance their students' linguistic awareness and help them transfer the target language into long-term memory.
James skilfully marries evidence-based practice with collective experience and, in doing so, inspires a challenging approach to secondary school MFL teaching. Furthermore, he concludes each chapter with a series of questions that will inspire reflective thought and encourage teachers to relate the content to their own classroom practice.
Suitable for MFL teachers of students aged 11 to 18 years.

Inspiring and eye opening
Great book. I love the narrative of it which goes with one of the strategies mentioned in the book learning through story telling. It clearly explains theories and concepts that we learn as we train to become teachers but forget once we get into the classroom. The way these strategies are explained and presented in the book make more sense and encourage the MFL teacher to have a go with a clear understanding on how to put them into practice. I would highly recommend this book to any MFL teacher who loves their job and their students.
