Alien Language Online Language Learning Tool for Key Stage 3 Pupils

Alien Language is intended to support those learning MFL and covers English, French, Spanish and German. It specifically focuses on teaching and learning about parts of the body and requires pupils to have some prior learning of vocabulary and sentences related to this topic.

The activities aim to cover key vocabulary about the body as well as spelling, grammar and sentence construction through an interactive and motivation multimedia approach. Pupils identify body parts, which requires them to read and understand the MFL being studied. Labelling activities require spelling and understanding of words in the target language to be used. This leads into sentence building and a quiz bringing together reading, comprehension of text and knowledge of sentence construction and grammar. The website also has a visual dictionary that can be accessed. It contains audio of pronunciations alongside the text.

Teachers are also able to access worksheets that can be photocopied and activities for use in the classroom via this website.
