| Abstract | Urdu is rapidly gaining popularity as a MFL choice and has now risen to number four behind the big three. However, many Urdu teachers find serious difficulty in getting access to resources for the language. There is also a feeling amongst younger MFL teachers that historically the subject has been taught in a way which modern students may find less appealing than other MFL teaching. Mohammed Umar who teaches at Grange Technology College in Bradford is tackling both issues head-on. This programme shows how his ideas for modernising Urdu draw on techniques used in other languages and gives examples of how he adapts these to the specific needs of Urdu. It also gives some ideas for adapting resources given the paucity of existing ones - Mohammed points out that his school does not even have access to a keyboard with Urdu characters. This programme will be useful to all teachers of Urdu who may be seeking fresh inspiration and ideas for matching their teaching to students expectations. |
