Languages ICT
This website offers ideas, information and guidance on the use of ICT for teaching and learning languages. One recent project, Using ICT effectively at Key Stage 4, produced 36 downloads, each containing ideas for using a particular authentic website to teach languages at KS4, with a focus on topics which are more 'hard to teach'. There are 12 each for French, German and Spanish, though ideas are often transferable to other ideas and websites. In due course, the sheets will become searchable via the ICT ideas database.
