    Homework Ideas for French German and Spanish Classrooms

     According to a 2015 article in the Independent Newspaper “Homework […] is an important component of education for students in the middle and upper grades of schooling.” Homework – Do Your Students Do It? Looking at the results of a (somewhat crude!) Twitter poll which I recently carried out, attracting 87 responses, if homework is an important component of education, why is homework only handed in to an acceptable standard and submitted on time to 6% of teachers?  The Homework Struggle Is Real! Homework is easy enough to set. But, despite working in a Grammar school this year with a clear homework policy, getting students to do homework to a…

About

TheIdealTeacher.comJe me présente!

Hi! I’m Sabina – an insanely passionate, qualified French and German teacher and tutor, as well as an experienced EFL teacher. I have over 13 years teaching experience in private, online, secondary and further education settings. I LOVE TEACHING LANGUAGES AND SEEING MY STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE IMPROVE!

How do I help my language students and tutees?

* assess their current strengths and weaknesses and personalise each lesson to their needs
* develop students’ confidence from the first lesson
* improve exam skills
* develop communication skills (speaking, listening & translation)
* build vocabulary and grammar knowledge in a simple way
* … and whatever else they want to work on!

Who do I teach?

* Beginner to advanced EFL and ESL students
* Business English students
* KS3, and GCSE French students
* KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level German
* Home-educated students learning French & German
* Distance learning French & German language learners
* Beginner French and German students looking to make fast progress

Which qualifications do I help with?

* French GCSE & French iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* German GCSE & German iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* A-Level German (AQA & WJEC) / Pre-U German
* CEFR Levels A1-C2

As well as teaching languages, I love creating French and German KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level resources and sharing teaching ideas to save other MFL and language teachers time.

p.s. I would just like to clarify that ‘TheIdealTeacher’ is simply the website’s name and it’s what I aspire to be and what I am working towards. I am an enthusiastic modern languages teacher with the sole aim of improving my students’ language  acquisition with innovative teaching methods to promote progress and improve confidence quickly.

My 81-year old grandad (who doesn’t have Twitter/Instagram) was excited to find this ‘heart’ shaped crisp in his packet. I showed him the other crisp entries that look like more like a heart but he was still quite keen for me to share this! ❤️
