Interested in writing an alternative guide to Paris? Or creating a quiz for a German football team? Or even choosing a street dancer to take part in a Mexican dance jam? Students can try all this and more in eight new challenges added to MYLO in the last fortnight.

MYLO is an innovative free website aimed at pupils in KS3 and KS4. As well as basic language material, it contains over 20 interactive challenges in Spanish, French, German and Mandarin to get teenagers using their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills in fun ‘real-life’ situations.

In the three new French challenges, students can write a fashion blog, design an alternative tour of Paris or find out about famous French photographer Yann Arthus-Betrand. New German challenges include helping a German producer to create fairytale characters for a new TV show and putting together a quiz for a German football team.

Meanwhile, students of Spanish can promote a dancer to take part in a Mexican competition, come up with fundraising ideas for a children’s charity in Argentina or help director Salma Polanco to find the scariest legendary Hispanic monsters to feature in her latest film.

Teachers can register their students on MYLO for access to innovative features such as personalised avatars and the ability to save work and monitor progress. Registering also allows students to compete against each other or even against other schools.
