"KLOO in School" Case Studies by MFL Teachers
Case Studies on the "Impact of KLOO MFL Resources"
CASE STUDY
Teacher: Karen Christiansen
French and Spanish Teacher
MFL Resources assessed: French and Spanish
13 – 18 year olds
Prince Charles Secondary School,
Creston, Canada
TEACHER’S OBSERVATIONS
“When I told them they can play a board game in class, they were really happy. At first the reluctant learners thought that they couldn’t do it because they couldn’t translate their cards independently. After teaching them how it works, and how they can verify their translations themselves, they liked it a lot more because it didn’t feel like “work”. KLOO really helps them make lots of sentences, and believe that they CAN make sentences, on their own.”

TEACHER’S OBSERVATIONS
“After playing two or three times with the same deck students have almost magically learned all the vocabulary, not only to write and read each word correctly but also to pronounce it right. It is also easier for a student to know how to arrange the words in a sentence when looking at the coloured arrows. All the students, I’ve played it with it have loved it. And the enthusiasm increases every time we put the game box on the table. Students are eager to play.”

Primary School Children
Richmond, UK
TEACHER’S OBSERVATIONS
“That element of fun and motivation is key, particularly to children of this age really. They don’t realize they’re learning. They’re playing the game, enjoying playing the game, and in a way for them, the by-product is they’re learning. They love it when they play it again and they go, “Oh, I remember this word from yesterday”. I think probably the first thing I would do is get other teachers to play KLOO themselves, because I think they would learn how easy it is to begin to learn through playing the game.”

CASE STUDY
Teacher: Susie Sparks
French, Spanish, EFL Tutor
MFL Resources assessed: French & Spanish
Ages: 5 to 72
Stevenage, UK
TEACHER’S OBSERVATIONS
“It covers many of the topics that are used in KS3 and GCSE exams, for example
clothes, everyday objects, food and drink and places. It definitely engages students. They are always happy to see the game and often ask me to bring it back the next week so that they can play with a different deck. Students enjoy searching for the words they don’t know in order to
score extra points and they generally remember them the second time around.”
