In this episode, I talk about how to start an MFL lesson effectively. I give some tips on getting the students settled, which type of starter activities I think are the best and what to avoid!

In the episode, I mention Kate Jones' excellent Retrieval Practice book, which you can get here: https://www.johncattbookshop.com/retrieval-practice

If you want my MFL version of Kate Jones' retrieval practice placemat, then it's here: http://katelanguages.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Retrieval-practice-placemat-Fatskinny-font.pdf

And for more ideas on retrieval practice/starters in MFL, here's a blog post I wrote at the end of 2020: https://katelanguages.co.uk/retrieval-activities/
