Hocus & Lotus
Hocus and Lotus are two loveable little cartoon Dinocrocs whose musical adventures are ideal for introducing a new
language to very young children. This innovative, high-quality material is especially designed for children from age three
onwards but is also suitable for use in Key Stage 2.
Hocus & Lotus is the result of a European project involving child development and language specialists across Europe.
Using songs, drama and stories which are acted out in the classroom, the materials appeal to young children’s desire
to hear the same story again and again. The texts and scripts have been carefully developed to assist the process of
language acquisition through repetition and visual clues. The DVDs and CDs provide an invaluable model of authentic
pronunciation. Teachers who themselves have only limited knowledge of the new language will find the method
enjoyable and easy to use.
Hocus & Lotus DVDs
These cartoon stories have been produced in high TV-quality format – the English versions
have been broadcast to large audiences on Italian TV. They can either be used in class, or
made available to parents for children to view at home to reinforce their learning. The DVDs
include six episodes of the Hocus & Lotus series in five languages: French, Spanish, German,
Italian and English. DVDs are region free.

The magic teacher
Learning a foreign language at nursery school – results from the project
Traute Taeschner
Children are immediately enchanted by the Dinocrocs characters and stories, and
teachers are quick to see their appeal. However, behind the attractive presentation
is something even more impressive: a body of thinking and research of crucial
significance to anyone who wants to see young children successfully learning another
language. Professor Taeschner explains how she has translated key principles from child
psychology and language-acquisition theory into practical language-learning activities,
along with partners in Italy and across Europe.

Sounds & Words
Supporting language learning through phonics

Being able to hear the sounds of words and say them correctly are vital elements for

This book is about developing children’s perception and production of the sounds
of the language they are learning. It builds on phonics work in English developed at
Key Stage 1, and presents the phoneme-grapheme correspondences of three of the

The book contains numerous practical examples for use in the classroom and is also
accompanied by a disk providing a wide range of resources for use by teachers.

by simple strategies that get pupils thinking and offer them challenges. The authors’
ideas are supplemented by those of teachers and student teachers they have worked
with over many years. They provide a new dimension in explicitly offering cognitive
challenge to pupils.

Mapping the languages of London’s schoolchildren
John Eversley, Dina Mehmedbegović, Antony Sanderson, Teresa Tinsley,
Michelle von Ahn, Richard D Wiggins
All the major languages of the world are represented in London. This innovative new
title demonstrates the value of this immense human and intellectual resource for
London’s continuing pre-eminence as a world city. Building on the groundbreaking
research of Multilingual Capital (2000), this publication presents new, more
comprehensive and robust data, mapping the languages of London’s schoolchildren.
The book includes 29 pages of full-colour maps and supporting data broken down
by local authority areas illustrating how London’s languages have changed and
communities in the capital have evolved over the last decade. A vital reference book for
policymakers, planners, practitioners and researchers across a wide range of fields.

Something to say?
Promoting spontaneous classroom talk
Vee Harris, James Burch, Barry Jones and Jane Darcy
Why is it that Ofsted reports comment so frequently on pupils’ poor speaking skills
despite the advent of the communicative approach to MFL teaching? Something
to say? brings together key research findings with practical classroom projects to
explore possible ways forward. It reviews current coursebook oral exercises and gives
suggestions on how to engage pupils. This book has been adopted as a set book for the
Open University Modern Languages PGCE. New edition to be released April 2013.

The Languages Work Activity Guide provides advice, information and support
for anyone who wants to inspire students to think seriously about careers in
languages. Schools using assemblies, careers days, options evenings and class
time to demonstrate the benefits of continuing with languages, report that these
events are successful in increasing take-up of languages in Key Stage 4 and beyond,
and in motivating students in their language learning. The range of Languages
Work materials can be used in any of these situations to support the message that
languages will be a lasting asset to students.
Whether you are a careers adviser, a languages teacher, a business speaker, a student
language ambassador or a volunteer helping to promote languages, the Languages
Work Activity guide is an invaluable resource to help you use the full range of
Languages Work resources, including the website, activity and fact sheets, postcards,
posters, PowerPoint presentations and CD-ROM to their full potential.
