ALL London organises webinars for the MFL community and this webinar is open to all MFL teachers. We hope that you will like us and want to join!

Following her very popular session at the TiLT conference last year, we have asked Julia to present on the topic of Escape rooms. Benefit from this exciting and motivating experience both from the learner and teacher point of view. Julia’s session will complement Carmen’s session on the use of the product genial.ly.

Julia will show how she has been using Google to design the overall game, introduce a variety of tasks and track pupil progress through the game. She is in the process of writing a book which will bring together the wide variety of challenges which can be incorporated into an Escape Room context.

Julia Morris (@JuschMo) is a German teacher at Millfield School in Somerset.

She writes: I grew up and studied in Berlin and I have been teaching German and French in South-West England for 13 years. I have been creating Escape Rooms for my lessons and for the school library for three years and have run an after school escape room club. Since Christmas I have been teaching at Millfield School in Somerset.
