Welcome to the Autumn Edition of the IH Modern Languages Newsletter!

Meet the Arabic and Italian Advisors

Due to increasing demand for resources and support in these two languages, we now have advisors for Arabic and Italian: Wessam and Chiara. As for the other languages, the advisors will be responsible for sharing materials on-line, supporting teachers of their language across the network through their closed Facebook groups, as well as running on-line workshops. They will also create materials banks for teaching Arabic and Italian. See their contact information below.

First ML CAM Course with German and French Teachers

The Certificate in Advanced Methodology course for Modern Language teachers started this month with German and French candidates. Good luck to all the course participants!

Closed Facebook Group for Modern Language Teachers

This is a new private Facebook group for languages which do not currently have an advisor. We invite teachers of any language to share ideas, useful links or information related to their language. Contact Estelle Hélouin if you would like to join the group.

Articles from ML Teachers in the IH Journal

Special thanks to Guilhaume Garcia, Nadezhda Vlasova and Antonella Balena for their articles in French, Russian and Italian, which appeared in the last IH Journal issue. This is an inspiring example for other ML teachers from IH schools: try it! Do it! Enjoy it!
