Success, Success!

My recent speaking tour in Melbourne, Victoria, was a success!

I presented Masterclasses to university lecturers and school teachers, teaching them how to use sequential art, language meditation, improvisation, and drama as communication mediums in the second language classroom. 

Stuart is seen here at St Aloysius College in Melbourne, Victoria, discussing his thesis research into Franco-Belgian comics and their impact on global society. The presentation also covered how these works can be used as a communication medium in second-language classrooms.

Here we have Stuart, engaging reception to year 7 children in the School of Languages Languages Alive program, with his French language teachings. He introduced his innovative class, Language in Action, to educators and students, showcasing how sequential art, improvisation, and drama can be used as effective communication tools in the second language classroom.

A fantastic new resource added for my younger language students!

The ambience of the classroom has an extremely important impact on language learners, and this is especially true for students in the Early Years Learning Framework.

Bold, bright, and vibrant images related to the language and its culture provide a narrative that can be used to present the language to the students on a daily basis.


I am delighted to add this beautiful mural of the Eiffel Tower in all its splendour to my classroom for students to enjoy.

I greatly appreciate my centre director for permitting me to indulge and have the mural created!
