In this session we consider practical ways to ensure that we and all of our colleagues understand and can describe our department’s language vision and practice; the why, what, when and how of our languages teaching and learning. This is not just for Ofsted (!) – it’s about confidence in the classroom, with parents, governors and any wider community stakeholders, too.
