I've just finished uploading 28 new resources to the website.
They are mostly French audio files for the LiPS Listening Project, which I created using ttsmaker.com, an AI text-to-speech generator. Text-to-speech has certainly come on a long way since I first used it, and careful use of TTSMaker generates some realistic and useful results.
You may have seen on the Light Bulb Languages Twitter and Facebook pages that over the summer holidays I set myself the challenge of making 47 resources for my 47 days of holiday. Well yesterday I made the 48th, and that's not including the new scheme of work for primary French, which I published a couple of weeks ago.
You'll find new resources for:
I've just uploaded 15 new resources, the ones I had hanging around from the end of last term.
They are mostly for Primary Spanish, some more #LanguageLinks, and some for the Listening Project.
To find resources that are new, either put today's date (25.01.22) in the site's search, or on a certain page press CTRL+F and type in today's date (25.01.22).
Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for you, I am currently at home in isolation, and am planning to make some more new resources to keep me busy. Watch this space!
I've just uploaded another 30 new resources, mostly for the LiPS Listening Project. There are now 24 activities for French and 38 for Spanish. You can see the themes here:
I'm hoping there will also be some German ones in time.
The most recent resources don't yet have audio, but I have uploaded the resources which contain the transcript, so that you can use them by reading the text yourself.
If you are a member of the Languages in Primary Schools Facebook Group and would like to help out with writing scripts and/or recording audio, please do a search within the group and you'll find the link to the Google Form where you can express your interest.
The summer holidays are finally in sight, and we have 7 weeks to enjoy not 6 this year! I've calculated that I am going to have 52 days of holiday altogether, so I shall set myself my usual challenge of making one new resource for each day of holiday. I'm intending to do more Studio and Viva resources to add to what is already on the site, but please drop me a line if there's anything specific you'd like, especially for secondary (which I don't teach) or French (which I don't teach!)
Have a great summer, everyone. You've done an amazing job in very difficult circumstances this year, and you deserve it.
I've just uploaded 33 new resources, nearly all of them for Primary Spanish.
Since the last post on this blog, I've uploaded a lot of resources to the LiPS Listening Project, and there are many more to come. They are intended for Key Stage 2 learners, but secondary colleagues will doubtless find some useful activities too.
I've also added a page with some resources for Euro 2020.
