Learning the lingo

Modern languages are fast gaining popularity with primary pupils. Get them 
hooked with lessons that are practical and fun 

The children are taking part in role-plays within an area of the classroom that 
has been specifically set out for structured talk. This week, a desk and a 
couple of chairs are transformed into a café with the help of a pretty 
tablecloth, a bunch of flowers and a menu offering an assortment of treats.

rather than in a class of key stage 2 children. But then you may not have 
realised that the talking is geared up to teaching pupils Spanish rather than 
English.
