Wow! I am over the moon that a MFL teacher has won a Silver @TeachingAwards this year! I am so honoured. This is not my award or @Kings_Ely award, but an award for the whole #mfltwitterati community! Thank you everyone for your support in the process. @joedale @HelenMyers

I have been reflecting on the power of independent listening practice, not at KS4, which is very common, but at KS3. In my latest blogpost I explain how at PRINCES RISBOROUGH SCHOOL we have set up an independent listening session in Y9.

@BotonesSalgado This Learning Schedule is gold, Esmeralda! 👏 At Young Minds App, we see the same struggle - students have the plan but get pulled away by distractions. Our 'Study Mode' helps them stick to schedules like yours by blocking the noise while keeping school tools open.

@AnaisWokaisong In my trust we use a @PupilProgressUK which automatically converts marks into grades. As this is a new GCSE, it uses historical past GCSE data to create the grade boundaries.

After AQA scrapping the new guidance for the oral exam, I have rewritten my post from yesterday to share two strategies that are working at PRINCES RISBOROUGH SCHOOL to develop fluency moving away from rote learning. #mfl #gcse #oral #AQA
