I am excited to be leading this CPD on using songs and poems at KS2 and KS3 on 18 March https://t.co/pAzTp0p3Aa and this one on unplanned speaking on 19 March https://t.co/LzQkd7OPEZ which is how to teach speaking for genuine communication at KS3 into KS4. :)

Happy to say that I have a few Network for Learning courses coming up in November :) 4 are specific to the new GCSE - e.g. MFL GCSE 2026 Exam Success: Levelling up Listening | Network For Learning, others are related to language learning at all levels.

We are delighted that the University of Cambridge ranked 1st for Modern Languages and 2nd for Linguistics in the QS World University Rankings for 2024 (as indeed was also the case in 2023)🎉

French is an official language of 28 countries across virtually every continent. German is one of the 3 procedural languages of the EU & a cousin of English. Spanish is the fourth most spoken language on Earth. Learn a language in school & you have a ticket to a much wider world.

Coming so soon after the news about Kent, this is another blow to the health of the discipline in the UK.

International teacher friends: my school (@northcamacademy) want to send a short story around the world, with each school adding to the story. If you work in a school outside of the UK and you would be up for taking part - drop me a line and send me your school details! 🗺📖

As the new academic year is about to start, I highly recommend all MFL teachers to become ALL members. Being part of your subject association has so many advantages. Do not hesitate a second! @ALL4language @MFLChat #mfl #mfltwitterati

@SenoritaGris All our projects launch officially on European Day of Languages (and they last all year):
Spelling Bee (y7)
Translation Bee (y8 & 9)
Language Leader Award (usually y9+)
and more…

Interesting finding in the Oxford Humanities report:
Evidence suggests that graduates with language degrees have greater financial returns than their peers and transition into the labour market in a smoother way.
