I thoroughly enjoyed presenting this on 24th March 2017 at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham as part of the ALL’s Language World 2017. I hope you find it useful too! Feel free to use to discourage the withdrawal of children from languages lessons!
You will find below my presentation and all the documents I used for reference too.
