ALL London organises webinars for the MFL community and this webinar is open to all MFL teachers. We hope that you will like us and want to join! 

We thank the presenters, who give freely of their time and expertise. Where possible, most sessions are recorded and available for viewing later.

Session overview

We are very grateful to leaders in the Harris Federation who are willing to share their expertise with the wider community. Teachers currently teaching Year 11 in particular will be keen to pick up ideas in the last push before exams!

Here are details of this session:

Session 2 [90 minutes] – raising attainment at GCSE, tacking the productive skills (Julien Violette): this session aims to share AQA’s findings on areas for development in the speaking and writing papers as well as sharing key strategies to improve confidence in both skills, build resilience and improve outcomes. Alongside this, we would be able to share our popular Target 5 Speaking and Writing material, which provides ample material for practising all exam questions within the papers at foundation level.
