The Post-Primary Languages Ireland (PPLI) offers a wonderful range of supports and resources for language(s) teachers. Their website endeavours to provide:
- a place where language teachers can share resources and materials that are relevant to language teaching methodology in general, the teaching of the lesser taught modern foreign languages (Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish) on the Irish curriculum in Irish post-primary schools, and the new languages that are spoken as home languages in Ireland
- information and opportunities in relation to language learning and teaching at post-primary level
- a platform for CPD and languages upskilling for modern foreign language teachers
- information and links to relevant research on foreign languages policy in Ireland, foreign languages needs in Ireland, and other relevant materials.
Take a look at one of their online tutorials on the use of the target language in the classroom!
