@VEverettmfl@joedale Ahh right. I shall give it a go! I like the duolingo interface too - tried Memrise and quizlet and the students found them a bit boring
Has anyone run a whole year group vocabulary competition before using technology? Iโm thinking quizlet, Memrise,duolingoโฆ#mfltwitterati#mfl#mflchat
@VEverettmfl@joedale I downloaded this and can see you can assign assignments but then it only says if itโs completed or not? I couldnโt see a leaderboard? In know Pensby High school ran one using duolingo and it was based on XP points.

Teaching formulaic chunks and discourse filler promotes fluency by reducing cognitive load, speeding up articulatory rate and giving students the sense of agency and self-efficacy which reduces anxiety and enhances willingness to participate and communicate. #EPI
