It is absolutely critical that *as many individuals as possible* respond to the DfE consultation directly.
You can respond with simple yes/no answers if you're short on time.
You can also use our open response text in your own submission if you like.

Please add your support to the APPG MFL's official call for the GCSE proposals to be paused pending further, more inclusive input. The risks are too high and the model is flawed & untested. #mfltwitterati 1/2

What is the point of learning a language? Baroness Coussins @APPGMFL and @bbcnickrobinson get straight to the point. How amazing and fruitful it would be to have a proper public debate about that question... who's in? @future_of_MFL bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:b… [scroll back to 07:22]

Stakeholders are rightly concerned about the proposed direction of travel for MFL in schools. This focuses minds on what the purpose of our subject is. Here is our vision for Modern Languages, endorsed by over 250 teachers, teacher trainers & academics. thefutureoflanguages.org/our…

"Rather than starting with a list of words, we need to reflect on how to make Primary MFL a tempting invitation to join a community of linguists, and let the word lists follow." @CaraBleiman writes beautifully for @future_of_MFL about the GCSE proposals thefutureoflanguages.org/blo…

Primary MFL should be a trailer for future language study – cramming in as many snapshots of the best our subject has to offer. Check out my blog for @future_of_MFL thefutureoflanguages.org/blo…

There is a consultation ongoing regarding a new GCSE curriculum for MFL. But should we be thinking far more fundamentally and creatively about the contribution our subject makes?
