Primary teachers - MFL provision

[loopyloops]

If you are a primary teacher, are you expected to teach MFL yourself or do you have an outreach teacher to do it? If you do it yourself, are you happy to? What resources do you use?
I'm asking because I'm a secondary MFL teacher who does primary outreach but after maternity leave have left work and relocated, so am looking in to approaching primaries to see if they need support.

anyone?

We are expected to teach MFL ourselves. We are lucky that we have a TA who is a qualified German secondary teacher so pay her supply rates for the sessions she takes, prior to her joining I taught French ( well, I do have French GCE at grade B-although from 33 years ago

I was asked to do it as have AL and love languages, I and others use La Jolie Ronde's scheme ... really easy, lessons all planned and a great sound cd for correct pronunciation. They also have franchises perhaps give them a go see if they need anyone to teach

I've taught for them before. I don't really like the idea of their franchise because they mostly use untrained staff who have some language knowledge. Hmmm...
Thanks!

not sure about that but resource Ive found is very comprehensive. What about contacting LA

(Scotland her so maybe different)

Our kids are already in bilingual provision so speak Gaelic mainly in school.

In P6 they start French. It is taught by my dd1's class teacher who has a degree in French and Spanish though the p6 and 7 classes. While he does this, the other teachers take mu dd1's class for drama, ICT and RE.

Works well here.

Thank you. :)

loopyloops am in similar position - hoping to move into primary MFL. Just never see the jobs advertised for it. Would love to be in a junior school covering French in their class teachers' ppa time. Never see any adverts. GRRRRR. At the same time really good primary teachers who happen not to have mfl qualifications are forced into teaching something they aren't confident about with, in some cases, little further training. I would soooo love to do years 3-6 French.

Shall we set up our own company Kat?

In my last school we were expected to teach it ourselves, even if we had not had any previous knowledge of the language whatsoever. I was teaching Spanish on the strength of 1.5 years of it in secondary, and unfortunately, I was the one in school with the most experience.
Ridiculous! Other schools are wiser and use a peripatetic teacher as part of their PPA cover, and then that teacher covers all years in the school, which I think works better.
