I did the MFL Primary PGCE and have always ensured I include a bit of languages in my teaching, not necessarily thorugh direct lessons. I have worked with secondary langauge teachers who come into primary schools to teach French and learnt a lot of tips from them.
I have not been on this site for over a year but am back to find out lots and prepare for more MFL within primary schools.
I am sure you will find our group friendly and helpful. I also teach French so you may be interested to check out all the links I have to French resources I have put on my blog.

I hope it is of use!
