Today sees the launch of the MFLE’s Maximising Potential, a new online resource for teachers to support inclusion in modern languages.

Written by educational consultant Hilary McColl and Catriona Oates, professional services officer at Scottish CILT, it supports individual modern language teachers and modern language departments in meeting the needs of an ever-widening range of learners.

In collaboration with learning support colleagues, Maximising Potential invites teachers to reflect on current methodology and on the learning experiences of pupils who may be causing concern. The programme gives you a structure for working out strategies to help improve both.

It was piloted in three City of Edinburgh schools in session 2006-7 with considerable success; feedback from the teachers involved has helped to determine the online version made available to you through the MFLE website with help and encouragement from Scottish CILT.

If you’re an MFLE member, you can discuss any aspect of the programme, large or small, in the discussion forums with colleagues, local authority officers or advisers and other professionals involved with languages. It’s also a great place to give feedback on the programme. If you’re not a member, and you work in Scotland, it’s easy to register.
