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

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
