In an educational setting, shouting at children in a loud voice does not make the message any clearer. Shouting is an unhealthy form of communication that only creates stress triggers that will make them tune out & lower their receptivity to learning🧠🌱

[Mrs Gaffney 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹 @Mrs_Gaffney_]

@MflCe We have done this for years and it works very well ☺️

[Mrs Gaffney 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹 @Mrs_Gaffney_]

Shouting 👏🏼 doesnt 👏🏼 work 👏🏼

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

For those adults that believe in shouting at students in school, how would you respond to be shouted at yourself?

All good?

[Christopher Hughes MBE @chrislinguist]

Why do languages matter? Because languages are about communication, understanding, solidarity and respect. Another language is another perspective, another outlook and another world view. It's life lived through a different lens. That's why languages matter to all of us.

Was so fab to be a part of this. The pupils were so made up and there was a real buzz around the school 💙⚽️🇫🇷🙌🏼🥹 #mfltwitterati

Let's get this straight.

Unless a student is in danger of being run over, there is no justification for a teacher shouting at a student.

None whatsoever.

[Mrs Gaffney 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹 @Mrs_Gaffney_]

Great day at @univofstandrews showing my Higher French pupils my old haunts. Insightful to have a talk regarding admissions and a tour of the Modern Languages department. The sun came out for us too! 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇷🇺 🇮🇹 🇩🇪 👩🏻‍🎓 🌞 @CarnoustieHigh

@MFLMusings @ladeidiomas @LeoLanguages What is ‘iel’? Haven’t seen that before
