What LANGUAGE ANGELS USERS SAY

Case Study & Testimonials

Language Angels is packed with excellent resources and easy to follow lesson plans. As subject leader, I am confident that our curriculum follows well-structured progression and children are building on skills and experience year after year to expand their abilities in all four areas of learning (listening, speaking, reading and writing). Teachers who are less confident in teaching a foreign language enjoy the support of native language audio clips on every lesson PowerPoint. I highly recommend the songs too which really help embed the language in a playful way. I truly believe that pupils leave Christ Church thoroughly prepared for a career in language learning at secondary school.

We have just changed our language taught in our school to French and were looking for a scheme that would offer not only the resources needed, but also CPD opportunities as we have no French speaking teachers. Language Angels has been amazing! The resources are provided for every lesson, along with the tools to enable the children and teachers to hear how the words and phrases should be pronounced correctly. This has given us a firm grounding to build the foundations of our foreign languages curriculum. Paolo and Francesca are also on hand to assist with any questions or help if needed. We highly recommend Language Angels and would also recommend following their social media sites too as we have found them to be a very valuable resource.

I think that Language Angels is simply brilliant! Everything that is needed for teaching MFL in a school is provided and the whole scheme has been thought out and very carefully considered. It is perfect for specialist and non- specialist teachers alike. Planning, differentiated resources, assessment and recording progress tools are all provided. It takes a lot of pressure off of teachers and language leaders. The CPD provided is excellent and tailored to your school. Paolo and Francesca are there to help in any way they can! I would totally recommend! I’m so grateful to have found Language Angels!

Having studied languages myself at University, I am very selective about the materials that I share with colleagues at my school. Language Angels has been a fantastic resource to share school-wide to support non-specialist teachers with the delivery of MFL. The teachers feel much more confident in planning and delivering lessons and appreciate the sound clips and differentiated resources. The children love the online game platform and from a subject coordinator point of view, the progress documents and overviews are brilliant. I have also always appreciated the hands-on approach from Language Angels with CPD. No question is too big and they are always willing to offer bespoke support. I would recommend to anyone!

Our staff and children enjoy using Language angels to learn Spanish. The sequences build on prior learning and are colourful and interactive which the children love. Our Year 3s, learning Spanish for the first time, have found the activities engaging and useful to help remember new words and phrases. The teachers (some also learning Spanish for the first time!) have found the pronunciation sound clips particularly useful.

MFL is a tricky subject to co-ordinate as many people do not see themselves as natural speakers of foreign languages. This then translates into their confidence in teaching the subject. Language Angels has given us the platform to deliver French in a fun and engaging way, which is easy for teachers to navigate and deliver. The voice notes are so handy - many adults in the classroom feel as though they are learning too! The webinars have offered insightful ideas and have also helped to deliver best practice. We are relatively new to Language Angels but as MFL lead, I can already see the benefits.

Zero to Hero Language Teaching Using Language Angels We have bought in Language Angels to ensure an organised and well-planned curriculum offer in Key stage 2 for Modern Foreign Languages focusing on French. We had very little French teaching taking place before we bought in these resources. We are a small rural school and subject leaders co-ordinate more than on subject area and are very stretched. Language Angels is a good value resource, with a long and meaningful trail period to ensure the programme and resources met our needs.

At Queenswell Junior School we have found Language Angels to be an invaluable teaching resource. The children love the interactive PowerPoints, games and songs. For the staff who have no prior knowledge of the language, it has given them the confidence to teach Spanish successfully. All the units have lesson plans, learning objectives and vocabulary lists. The speaker icons on the PowerPoints ensure that the words are pronounced correctly. The grammar is clearly explained. The units become increasingly challenging as you move through the learning stages ensuring progression across the school. Thank you Language Angels!

Language Angels offer exceptional customer service and support. Leading two very different schools: one 2-form entry and one very small school with only 50 pupils in total, we needed a completely bespoke approach for each school and many staff were concerned about delivering MFL for the first time. However, all of our concerns and queries were soon allayed, with expert support provided in relation to developing a rolling programme and implementation plan matched to their individual needs. The children are now a full half term in and are absolutely loving Spanish. Our staff are also confident in their delivery due to the excellent resources and training that come with being part of the Language Angels family. Thank you Paolo & the team!

I couldn't be more impressed with Language Angels who certainly live up to their name. We came from a position of not having taught MFL for a number of years, no staff skills/ confidence, and struggling to work out how to start teaching MFL and make a plan for meaningful progression. After inquiring, I received a bespoke unit progression plan from Francesca the very next day, which was super impressive, and the support has continued to go above and beyond my expectations ever since. The children are absolutely loving learning French and teachers are now empowered, through the comprehensive resources, to develop their own skills and are no longer traumatised at the thought of teaching languages!
