The blog is a collection of poems suitable for young children learning english. The headings that the poems fall under are in line with the topics to be covered in the Up and Away Programme, the guidelines laid out by the Department of Education in Ireland for teaching English as an additional language.

The poems are simple and vocabulary rich. They are accompanied by pictures of vocabulary and suitable for interactive whiteboard use. They will have worksheet and whiteboard activities to accompany them soon.

The idea for the site came about due to frustration trying to find poems simple enough for young english language learners to understand, learn and enjoy.

Current Head of Spanish in an Independent Boarding school. I speak Spanish, French, Portuguese and basic Italian, having lived in a variety of countries including Colombia, Chile, Portugal and the United Arab Emirates. Interested in use of Web 2.0 technology in the MFL classroom, writing, sports, travel, guitars and foreign film.

MFL Tricks
The aim of this blog is to give ideas for MFL lessons. I think there will be a focus on Web 2.0 tools and other potential uses of technology in the classroom, but I will also add ideas for teaching techniques and games and activities that I use in my own lessons, or have learned from other teachers.

I will tend to give examples from Spanish as this is the language I teach, but hopefully most of the ideas here can be used with other languages as well.

Michelle Gallen

Michelle Gallen, Northern Ireland, UK, All Sectors, Language Learning

I'm a Belfast-based e-learning consultant. I've been in copywriting and e-Learning since 1998. I've created a wide range of e-learning - from globally-deployed courses for Macromedia to niche Irish-language products - across various media - mobile, web, tv and online. Currently, I'm using grant funding to research and develop an Irish-language learning product. I also work with clients across the UK in developing e-learning materials.

I'm hugely interested in mobile learning in all its guises (phones ... ipods ... beermats). I'm keen to experiment on how social networking software can help teachers teach students, and students teach teachers. My secret wish is to go back to college and study neurology. This is why I should do the lottery. Could it be me?
