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

@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.

@BotonesSalgado Hiya so nice this but how did you make up the new grades for the new GCSE?

My latest blog on creating a learning schedule for Y11 students, can be found here mflcraft.blogspot.com/2026/02/after-… #mfl #gcse

I have been playing with Gemini Gems in GoogleClassroom to create a Study Partner for my students to help them practise the new AQA vocabulary and structures .I have summarised my findings with a step by step guidance on what I created, in this new post: mflcraft.blogspot.com/2025/11/explor…

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 mflcraft.blogspot.com/2025/10/how-to…

In The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading, Colleen Driggs, Erica Woolway & I discuss the overlooked importance of shared oral reading of rich and complex literature in book form. Here's an example... teachlikeachampion.org/blog/reading-a…

@MrsValverdeMFL @TeacheryDiaz @teacherworklife @cathsbruv @SenorWahab Questions shared there are very good. Also, any questions on pedagogy and methodology in the department. What is your vision for the department and how will you get everyone on board. Extracurricular activities that you are prepared to offer as a department. Use of digital tools

Please hit me with HOD interview questions. It's been a while... @BotonesSalgado @TeacheryDiaz @teacherworklife @cathsbruv @SenorWahab I can't tag Adam Lamb for some reason
