The implementation of the English Baccalaureate caught many schools off guard particularly in the subject area of modern foreign languages. When MFL was made optional post-14, many students (and schools) quickly dropped a subject that was considered too hard to learn, and find effective teachers for. And yet it is possible for schools to rise to the challenge of MFL returning to the centre of the curriculum – research evidence from around the world, English as a Foreign Language practice, and best MFL practice in this country demonstrate that MFL can be taught in ways the engage learners and build serious language skills. This workshop will link these findings with what we know more broadly about effective curriculum design. It will provide the opportunity for MFL subject leaders and teachers to review existing practice, engage critically with evidence-based approaches, and plan for future lessons.
