If MFL writing feels like a struggle, for both you and your students, this one small change can make a massive difference.
Instead of spending hours writing long comments on every book, try showing students what a great answer actually looks like.
Here is how to do it:
-
Show a model answer on the board.
- Explain why it works and highlight the best phrases.
-
Try "Live Marking": Instead of marking at home, mark a piece of work (or a common paragraph) live under the visualiser. Let students see you fix mistakes and upgrade vocabulary in real-time.
- Let students use those insights to improve their own work right then and there.
Why this works
Students learn much faster by seeing language done well than by reading a list of their own mistakes.
Live marking and modelling turn “feedback” into a shared lesson. It saves you heaps of time because you are teaching the whole class at once, rather than correcting the same errors over and over in every book.
The result: Better modelling. Less marking. Stronger writing.
