How Video2Teach works

A native speaker in the room.
Every single lesson.

Video2Teach replaces the anxiety of not knowing what to say with a simple, structured system that any teacher can follow โ€” even if they've never spoken a word of French or Spanish in their life.

01
๐Ÿ“บ

Open the lesson video

Each lesson is led by Emilie (French) or Irene (Spanish) on screen. They introduce vocabulary, model pronunciation and lead activities โ€” you don't need to do any of that yourself.

02
๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ

You manage the classroom

While Emilie or Irene leads the teaching, you circulate, support pupils and keep the session flowing. The lesson is done for you โ€” you bring the classroom management.

Progress builds automatically

Every lesson follows a clear progression โ€” vocabulary, sentence structures, the four skills. By the end of the year pupils have covered everything they need, and your workbooks and diagnostics capture the evidence.

What non-specialist teachers say

From dreading it to
delivering it with confidence.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Our teachers love it! If you are not a native speaker it is perfect โ€” it teaches the correct pronunciation. It is clear, easy to follow and the children engage and respond well to it.

Video2Teach is very helpful for lessons and really supports non-specialist teachers. It has made a positive impact on children's listening and speaking skills having the videos for each lesson.

Staff confidence has been completely transformed. Teachers who used to dread the languages slot are now excited about it โ€” and the children can tell.

โœ“ Ofsted Outstanding

Joanna Bayliss, MFL Lead at Birchwood Primary School: "It's gone from being a session people dread to teach to one that is welcomed and celebrated. Ofsted chose MFL for a deep dive โ€” the HMI was French โ€” and they awarded us Outstanding for Quality of Education."

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Do I need any language experience to use Video2Teach? +

None at all. That's the point. Emilie and Irene handle all the language teaching on screen โ€” pronunciation, vocabulary introduction, activities. You manage the classroom. Most teachers feel confident from their very first lesson.

Can HLTAs and PPA cover teachers use it? +

Yes โ€” this is one of Video2Teach's biggest strengths. Because the teaching is on screen, anyone who can manage a primary classroom can deliver a high-quality languages lesson. No specialist knowledge needed.

Which languages and year groups does it cover? +

Video2Teach covers French and Spanish from KS1 through to Year 6. The scheme follows clear progression through all four skills โ€” listening, speaking, reading and writing โ€” aligned to all 12 DfE attainment targets.

How is it different from just playing a YouTube video? +

Video2Teach is a structured scheme of work โ€” not a collection of videos. Each lesson has a clear objective, builds on the one before, and is aligned to PLN's curriculum progression framework. Emilie and Irene teach directly to your pupils, not to an anonymous camera. There are also workbooks, assessments and CPD built around it.

What does it cost? +

Video2Teach is included in the Premium Plus membership at ยฃ395+VAT per school per year โ€” just ยฃ1.08 per day. Start with a free 28-day trial with full access before committing.
