@SisaSilvia4 @VEverettmfl Happy birthday!

@VEverettmfl Thank you😀

Enjoying a little birthday getaway in York...

@joedale Please accept my condolences 🙏 I lost my father when I was 24 and he was only 58! Sending you lots of prayers because I know how hard it is

On Friday my lovely Dad passed away peacefully at home in York. 4 days shy of his 101st birthday he had an amazing life. Here is one of my favourites photos of him from nearly 20 years ago. Love you, Dad.

We ran a vote at the ALL Language World event last weekend "Do we need textbooks?" 👀 The results are in... 71% voted No ❌

@sal55318410 @CarolynMor12700 Sending lots of prayers for you. The same happened to me in 2019, I was almost 5 months pregnant with twins and I had to go to hospital and give birth knowing that there was no heart beat. It is painful but if you believe in God, he will give you and your wife the strength

@CarolynMor12700 I'm so sorry you have lost 3 babies that must be so hard. We have lost 2 babies and a boy when he was a toddler.

We lost our baby today. Please pray for my wife she has to have surgery to have the baby removed thanks for all your prayers. I won't be Twitter for a while need a break. Tha KS for all who have prayed for us.

Thank you so much @StevenFawkes they could not choose a better person for the Gran Finale of the LW2024! Still got "T'as le look Coco" in my head, can't stop singing it! #LW2024 @ALL4language

This is so exciting! 👇

@SisaSilvia4 Thank you for your extremely useful presentation on modelling Silvia! It's been a real pleasure to meet you in person!

Thank you @HelenMyers @RachelHawkes60 for your amazing talks and ideas! It has been a wonderful experience which I look forward to repeating next year! #ALL4languages #LW2024

Amazing talk by @joedale on Chat GPT, it's mind blowing what AI can do and the time we can save as teachers! Thank you Joe, it's always so useful to liaise with you about new technology! #LW2024 #ALL4language

@MissSimpsonMFL It's more than worth it! It tracks students' progress for HW and self marks!

When I say “best soundtrack of all time,” what is the first movie you think of?

@thosethatcan Teaching is a vocation and if you have that vocation go ahead otherwise you will not last!

What advice would you give to someone hoping/planning to train to be a teacher? Seeing some heated debates in this area. Would be interesting to see a range of responses. #edutwitter

@SisaSilvia4 Will be there too Silvia!Looking forward to seeing you in person!

I will be talking about: Setting up students for success: Power of modelling on Saturday at 13.15h. Hope to see many of you there! #mfltwitterati language-world.co.uk

@thosethatcan Unifrog!

As a parent of a Y12 interested in going to university, would appreciate sensible tips. Open days (when? where to find online?), how to choose course/location, alleviating debt anxieties… A gap in my school knowledge here! TIA.

If a student doesn’t have a pen, don’t ‘just give them a pen’. Instead you could: -Give them a pen and take note. If it happens again, follow up with a consequence -Give them a purple pen so it’s easy to show parents days equipment isn’t right -Teach them how to locate a pen -Teach them how to pack properly for the day -Privately, ask if there are any reasons why they aren’t ready -Record any equipment issues, daily -Teach them why being organised matters. -Teach them to bring three pens a day. Don’t ’just give them a pen.’ You are not Stationery Santa. Don’t teach them to be helpless. Show them you care by teaching them to be independent.

A fascinating story I love sharing with my students. Sweets & coal in the stocking. Buona Epifania! #italianculture #befana #mfltwitterati #langchat
