What is a live lesson?

It is a 30-minute online lesson with your familiar PLN video teachers: Emilie (French) or Irene (Spanish).

During the session, your class can:

  • Ask questions about life, culture, and the target-language (TL) country.

  • Practise real questions in French or Spanish and hear authentic answers.

  • Take part in a tailored mini-lesson or presentation, based on your requests.

Afterwards, you can smoothly continue into the next activity in the scheme (usually the TASK).

  • Our native-speaker video teachers from the PLN Video2Teach Scheme of Work:

    • Emilie (French)

    • Irene (Spanish)

  • Sessions take place on Zoom. You’ll need:

    • A laptop/computer with internet

    • Screen and webcam

    • Speakers/sound

    We’ll send you the Zoom link by email.

  • Booking a live lesson with Emilie or Irene offers so much more than just a video call — it brings your language learning scheme to life. Here’s why it’s so valuable:

    • Real communication practice: Pupils get to ask and answer questions in French or Spanish, giving them a real audience and purpose for the language they’ve been learning.

    • Authentic cultural insight: Children can learn about life, traditions, and daily routines in the target-language country, helping to develop curiosity and cultural understanding.

    • Boost confidence and motivation: Speaking to a native speaker in a safe, interactive environment builds pupils’ confidence and encourages them to participate more in class.

    • Tailored to your class: Each session is adapted to your pupils’ level and interests, meaning it directly supports your current scheme of work.

    • Engaging and memorable: Live interaction is a fun, exciting experience that makes language learning feel real and relevant.

    • Supports classroom follow-up: The lesson fits seamlessly with your scheme, allowing the class teacher to continue with activities such as TASKs straight afterwards.

    • Inclusive learning: All pupils can participate, ask questions, and hear authentic answers, making the session interactive and accessible for everyone.
