Join Swanswell and Amanda Millican from EMAS to discuss practical ways in which you can promote and support your students with their Home, Heritage, Community Language exams at GCSE and beyond.  

Join the team from the Trent and Tame Language Network to reflect on the progress you and your team are making with spontaneous speech.  During this virtual session, we’ll consider how we can use AI to support the students in our classroom to develop confidence and competence when speaking spontaneously.

Positioned after mock speaking exams, this session will give teachers ideas and sufficient time to introduce something tangible into lessons, homework or intervention plans to impact on the current year 11 cohort, taking their GCSE in summer 2026.

This special webinar is dedicated to the findings of our research project on the impact of different curriculum models. We will be looking into how specific school contexts choose to navigate the MFL curriculum and the impact each model has on student engagement, success and other logistical and financial impact on the school itself. We are delighted to welcome some guest speakers to this session who will be able to share more specific insight.
