Previous MFL courses

Our MFL courses are all brand new, so we haven't got any photographs or feedback comments. However, here are some testimonials for MFL Subject Tutor David Pope

The first is from David's school's Inspection Report in September 05:

"Teaching is ... very good, ... imaginative and creative. The target language is used appropriately, as in ... a Year 10 lesson in Spanish where boys learnt how to describe different states of health."

Needless to say, that was one of David's lessons! Next, from an NQT who was unsure that he had made the right career choice. He went on to be a successful Modern Languages teacher elsewhere though:

"Dear David, Thanks so much for all the advice and encouragement. Much appreciated! Richard"

And from David's headmaster, Mark Turner:

"Dear David, Last Friday's Careers Convention was a really splendid event. Many thanks indeed on behalf of all the boys who attended for giving them such a wonderful opportunity. I know much of this was down to your contribution. Yours sincerely. Mark Turne

or after he acted the part of a 19th century schoolmaster in 2003:

"Dear David...Congratulations for an outstanding contribution to World Heritage Day in Abingdon. Plaudits have come in from all directions and I would like to thank you and your team of boys for putting on such an excellent re-enactment of 1850's life. Your ferocious visage even greeted me as I thumbed my paper this morning - excellent! Well done indeed, Yours sincerely, Mark Turner"

And lastly, from an outgoing sixth former in the year David introduced Spanish to Abingdon:

"Señor Pope, Muchas gracias por toda la ayuda me has dado durante mi tiempo aquí en Abingdon. Estoy tanto agradecido haber tenido la oportunidad de aprender esta lengua y te doy las gracias.

(Dear Mr Pope, Many thanks for all the help you have given me during my time here at Abingdon School. I am so grateful to have had the chance to learn this language and owe you my thanks.)
