German is the language most sought after by employers. Job vacancies specifying German language skills as a requirement rose by 11.6% over the past 3 years. Hopefully the downward trend of teaching German in schools can be reversed.

An all-party parliamentary group of MPs and peers say Britain's languages deficit is holding back the nation economically, socially and culturally – and wants to “bust the myth” that language learning is “only for the top set.” https://t.co/vlnDebq6KT

Not exactly about language learning but still very important, especially in terms of one-to-one communication with colleagues, parents and pupils. Some great tips !

Very important research out from Ofqual today on marking consistency, including fascinating stuff on comparative judgement. Key takeaway: comparative judgement is a better predictor of marks than marking!! https://t.co/Zjprylvsl4
