Update:
• In its most recent report on languages, Ofsted noted that there was still a need to develop a clear framework for ‘spontaneous’ use of the target language, as speaking remains an area in which many of our pupils struggle.

Behaviour Management, Logistics & Practicalities
• Practicalities:– How many webcams available? (max 25)
• Classroom logistics:– Position of students “on camera”.– How many students “on camera”? – Reducing on screen “traffic”.– Avoiding “sea sickness”.
• Behaviour management:– What is the rest of the class doing?

Troubleshooting
ISSUE:• Flashmeeting doesn’t recognise your
webcamPOTENTIAL REASON:• Could be locally based issues i.e. your log
in might not have necessary permissionsSOLUTION• Get IT support to create videoconference
specific log in with necessary permissions.

Student Feedback
I found the video conference really interesting because we got to hear real French people speak to us and hear their accents!
I really enjoyed it because I have never spoken or
heard a French student before and also I found it was a really fun activity in class and a good way to
learn.
It was good practice to speak loudly and clearly because this skill will probably be used in your job when you
are older.
The video conference was a great opportunity for us to practise public speaking
I have now learnt how to speak clearly and slowly so people can understand
you and also how to keep eye contact with that
person through the web cam.
