Make the experience for a real purpose.  Instead of always using textbooks why not use multimedia. Children can create their own learning resources.

ICT – use the digital camera to record pupils during their ‘foreign’ experiences.  They can then write labels for the photos.

Use multimedia sound facilities to record themselves using the language.

Ideas for lessons:  Take pupils on a visit to market.  Take pictures of the vegetables and fruit.  Back in class they can then record simple phrases to match the photos.  The two can be used together to make a storystrip etc.
