Supports for In-Service Teachers
4 TPN conferences
Action 1.C.1
200 Teachers
Overview:
PPLI works with many different stakeholders to offer support to in-service Modern Foreign Languages (MFL)
teachers across Ireland. As well as offering continuing professional development (CPD), PPLI actively
collaborates and engages with the MFL Teacher Professional Networks (TPNs) in Ireland.
Main aims:
Support and enhance the provision of languages in schools by engaging with in-service teachers, and
disseminating the supports and resources available from PPLI.
Activity:
In 2022, PPLI focused on dissemination of our resources, distributing information sheets and providing
informative sessions on how PPLI can support in-service teachers with regards to the teaching and learning
of languages. Participation in Communities of Practice, use of the Intercultural Look at our Schools (ILAOS)
website, and engagement with the resources available on our website were all encouraged to ensure inservice teachers are aware of all the support available.
