Session 1: Ensuring exceptional MFL provision in the primary school

During this session, we will focus on the role of the subject leader for MFL within the primary setting, exploring, evaluating and breaking down the Programme of Study for languages at Key Stage 2.

We will then explore how subject leads can best select (or create) a scheme of work which ensures progression in the three pillars of language learning: phonics, vocabulary and grammar.

Finally, we will consider what makes a successful cross-phase partnership for the purposes of transition.

Session 2: Monitoring progress, supporting SEND learners and the role of culture in language learning

As part of this session delegates will review what progress over the four years of language study at Key Stage might look like and how might we monitor and record evidence that pupils are successfully retaining key linguistic and grammatical structures.

We will also explore practical strategies for how curriculum content might be adapted for SEND learners as well as techniques and strategies to support all learners to know and remember more, including the importance of regular retrieval.

Finally, delegates will consider the role of culture in language learning, how to develop links with partners abroad and ways in which culture can be woven through the language curriculum and beyond.
