This is excellent teaching. If you don't think so, I'm sorry, you're wrong.

Do what's best for the pupils.

I really feel there is a huge discrepancy in the oral exams this year. A lot of our higher achievers were harshly marked on content communication and interaction, spontaneity. Some of the got the same mark for these as a weaker student last year. Very disappointed #edexcel #mfl

Congratulations to all our students this year. We’re really happy to see all the tremendous results all down to their hard work. #results #gcse #mfl

On a brighter note, I’ve finally got to the point where curriculum planning is done. Only some easy to manage changes to the overview and resources are ready to go 😎

Very sad to see the year 11s go. That was my cohort of year 7 to 11 I’ve overseen. Got to know them so well! Will definitely miss them 😢

[SM Languages @sm_languages]

Some great ideas! https://t.co/5apE33Uhpl

Happy with my lottery winning - even if it’s just £10!

@ESOLClare Nice little treat at the end! Mine got some blue tack or an elastic band to play with 😂

Speaking exams have been hit and miss. I find it the most stressful experience.

I want students to prepare for it but don’t want it to sound rehearsed. I also find they over-rehearse and then shut down when they’ve forgotten what to say. Does anyone else feel the same?

[SM Languages @sm_languages]

@SUnsworth90 And soon no more year 11 😎

[SM Languages @sm_languages]

It’s a shame though that even with preparation, it’s still such a challenging exam to do. Hope it changes up for the new GCSE

[SM Languages @sm_languages]

So glad to be done with the speaking exams. Wishing the best for the students. With so much practice they deserve to do well!

[SM Languages @sm_languages]

@ZarahKeenan I have the same this year too. I’ve decided to mark them as absent and provide a note if necessary
