What do I do with my year 9? Most of them are not going to continue with languages next year and they have already decided that they are not going to do any more work.
One solution, particularly popular with boys, is to do a World Cup 2010 project. Clare Seccombe has produced a cornucopia of ideas, presentations, and, even better, resources, here.
But what do you do with students who are not interested in football?
How about teaching them to text in the Foreign Language.
Most English students will already be "textperts" in English, so why not teach them the basics in Spanish, German, or French? (Click the language for a list of abbreviations from about.com)
Give your students a list of the text abbreviations, put a message on the board and get them to come up with a creative response. When I did it last year it worked really well.
What do you make of this?

Cooking is another crowd pleaser.
