Target Audience: Junior Cycle MFL Teachers

"The mother tongue is the womb from which the second language is born" (Deller et al, 2002, pg. 4). Adopting the interdependent identities of a life-long language learner and a facilitator of language learning, Elizabeth Kelleher invariably holds the belief that native languages (L1) should be perceived as a "resource rather than a hindrance" in second language (L2) learning (Chowdhury et al, 2018, pg. 311).

This conviction has inadvertently spurred her to acquire, and in turn impart skills related to developing mnemonics that she believes greatly facilitate French vocabulary acquisition.

Considering the intrinsic role vocabulary acquisition plays in realising the Junior Cycle's aim to enable students to "communicate effectively [...] in the target language", pedagogical measures that can potentially enhance such a language learning process should be promoted (AROS, 2015, Aim).

Learning intention:

To explore how to use mnemonics to improve receptive and productive vocabulary acquisition as well as self efficacy among Junior Cycle MFL students.
