Crista Hazells Independent Thinking on MFL: How to make modern foreign language teaching exciting, inclusive and relevant takes teachers on a tour of how to get the teaching of a new language right.
Foreword by Ian Gilbert.
Learning a new language has the power to transform a life, as well as help break down the barriers that seem to be re-emerging between nations, cultures and people.
In the UK, MFL teaching has always had to battle with the everyone speaks English argument, not to mention that, for so many, all that remains of their years learning a foreign language is bitte, por favor or sil vous plait.
But with teachers like Independent Thinking Associate Crista Hazell at the front of the class, things can be very different.
Drawing on her many years of experience as an MFL teacher and head of department, Crista shares tips, techniques and inspirational ideas geared to help teachers build confidence, increase enjoyment and improve outcomes as they take their MFL teaching to a whole new level.
Crista provides a range of strategies from how to hook students in the minute they enter the classroom to ensuring that the vocabulary sticks designed to help learners develop confidence, take risks and enjoy the challenge that learning a new language brings. She also offers ideas and advice on how to make learning new vocabulary and grammar a great deal more effective and empowers teachers to open up the benefits and enjoyment of learning a language to all students, not just those in the top sets.
Ultimately, however, her book sets out to help teachers create engaging, relevant and memorable learning experiences in the MFL classroom and encourage their learners to become lifelong and passionate linguists.
For MFL teachers and heads of languages departments in primary schools, secondary schools and colleges.

Independent Thinking on MFL is a superb, practical and eminently sensible book which straddles lots of current dichotomies. It draws on both traditional and progressive approaches, is equally rooted in research and in practice, advocates the centrality of knowledge while highlighting the need to develop skills and wider learning, and is as much child-centred as it is subject-centred. It really is a book for anyone interested in teaching international languages and offers much to those simply interested in learning.
DAVID CAMERON, EDUCATION CONSULTANT, THE REAL DAVID CAMERON LTD
Any book with a chapter entitled The awesome power of lucky socks is bound to catch a teachers eye. In Independent Thinking on MFL Crista draws on a wealth of personal experience and combines it with overwhelming positivity, a clear sense of purpose and lots of common sense. The book is bursting with ideas and practical suggestions for MFL teachers and will make a great addition to the bookshelf for new and experienced teachers alike!
PROFESSOR ANNA LISE GORDON, DIRECTOR, THE INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION AT ST MARYS UNIVERSITY, AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING
Crista takes you on an inspirational journey that not only offers advice and guidance for the MFL classroom teacher but also shows how important a teachers method is to their craft. Using a values-driven approach, and drawing on years of experience, she is able to take you on a voyage with practical advice, techniques and a whole load of thinking and reflection.
DAVID WHITAKER, DIRECTOR OF LEARNING, WELLSPRING ACADEMY TRUST B
Whether you are an NQT or a more experienced MFL teacher, the encouragement and practical ideas contained within this book will ignite, or reignite, your passion for the increasingly essential job of teaching modern foreign languages.
KATHY ELLIOTT, MFL TEACHER
Independent Thinking on MFL will be a welcome addition to the CPD library of any MFL department. It is very accessible, and reading it is like having a conversation with Crista. Her personality, dedication to the task and enthusiasm shine through the text. I found myself repeatedly nodding in agreement. As an NQT I would have found the book invaluable, and Im sure that current and future cohorts of new entrants to the profession will find it of immense support as a vade mecum through the trials and tribulations of the best job in the world teaching languages.
JOHN CONNOR, INDEPENDENT MFL CONSULTANT
Since establishing Independent Thinking in 1994, we have worked hard to share with educators around the world our belief that there is always another way. The Independent Thinking On series of books is an extension of that work, giving a space for great educators to use their words and share great practice across a number of critical and relevant areas of education.
Independent Thinking on MFL is a book that couldnt have come at a better time. As I write these words, its 2020 and the world is splintering in a way it hasnt done so for decades. Politicians around the globe are stoking nationalism and isolationism in a way that pits us against them and makes political currency out of vilifying anyone who is other. If all you know is your type, your culture, people who look and speak like you, then this is quite an easy thing to do.
But what happens when you have a world view that embraces other perspectives? When you spend time learning about them and immersing yourself in their culture? When you are able to communicate directly in the language of the other?
What happens is that you realise there is no other.
As a former MFL teacher myself, I know the power that learning languages has to transform our views of the world. While the school syllabus can get bogged down in buying cabbages and asking your way to the quincaillerie, the best language teachers see a greater purpose for their work, one that involves helping their students to find their place in a bigger world. ii
And talking of the best language teachers, there is no better person to write this book than Independent Thinking Associate Crista Hazell. With many years experience as a successful MFL teacher and head of languages, Crista shares so many great insights, approaches and ideas that will transform language teaching in any primary or secondary classroom.
If we want the world to come back together, where else to start but in talking together, whatever the language.

Firstly, thank you for purchasing Independent Thinking on MFL, which is one of a series of titles from Independent Thinking Press. Check out the other titles too they are definitely worth adding to the continuing professional development (CPD) library in your department or school. If you dont have one yet, then what an excellent way to start!
This book is for MFL teachers of all ages and stages those who are new to the profession and those with more experience written by an experienced MFL teacher who thinks that being a teacher is the best job in the world. It has been inspired by my adventures in the classroom over 20 years. I am grateful to the wonderful young people I have had the privilege of teaching: they have challenged and inspired me, and I hope I have returned the favour. It is heartening to have witnessed the way so many learners have battled through the key stages and become brilliant linguists, who now use their language knowledge and skills in their daily lives working as engineers, doctors, artists, photographers, midwives, zookeepers and shopkeepers. There are also learners who have been inspired and moved by the culture and traditions beyond this green and pleasant land who have gone on to travel far and wide on exotic adventures. Finally, there are who that have become teachers who are promoting languages in their daily work. I am very proud of them all.
For trainees, newly qualified teachers (NQTs) and recently qualified teachers (RQTs): This book should serve to support you in your learning journey to becoming a marvellous MFL teacher. It includes tips, strategies, methods and activities, all of which I have successfully used in the classroom with learners from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5. There is also a specific help section in . My advice on where to start is to know your learners really well, beyond any data. If you build the relationship first, the language learning will come.
For experienced MFL teachers: I am amazed by the collegiality and positivity of MFL teachers and the MFLTwitterati, and the colleagues I have met at TeachMeets, conferences and languages events thank you for your smiles and support. I hope you enjoy using this book to enhance the MFL experience in your classrooms.
For teachers who are not based in England
