Language mats have been developed by the MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools) Languages team,  with webinars about how to use them. In this podcast I talk with Margaret Gatehouse who teaches French at St Lawrence O Tool in Leongatha, about how she has used the Language mats in her class. I also describe my experience of them, and I hope you will share your ideas and experiences too.
