I think langauge workshops are a great way to motivate and enthuse pupils and are great fun for teachers too!!! The idea is to spend half a day (up till lunch time) on each workshop and obviously time restraints are an issue!! These are some of the workshops that I want to try out in the future:
Languages Enterprise
This one I already have underway(ish) and hopefully it will take place one day in the Easter to May half term for GT students in year 8. The idea is that it is a Dragon's Den/Apprentice style day, where the pupils work in groups to invent a food product. They must come up with the packanging, and advert/poster and a pitch all in the target language, which they will then present to a small audience of guests. I am really looking forward to this!
Other ideas are a rap workshop, a graffiti workdhop, an fashion workshop, an art workshop and a history workshop. All of these would be designed for pupils of different abilities to motivate, enthuse and to inroduce them to the more exciting elements of the culture of the country that they are studying :)
