Curriculum CPD – Modern Foreign Language
Planning for progression: Practical Strategies for Primary Language Success
Led by Ellie Chettle Cully
Session 1:
What should we be teaching our children to do in the primary languages classroom? How do we evidence progression in a subject that involves assessing not just reading and writing but speaking and listening too? This session will focus on sequencing learning to ensure progression across four years of statutory languages learning alongside practical ideas for evidencing pupil progression, all in light of the Curriculum and Assessment Review. We will also focus on adaptive teaching and ways in which we can empower all learners to make progress in primary languages. Full of practical strategies, tried and-tested ideas and lots of opportunities for small-group discussion, this session will give you plenty of ideas to take away and implement immediately in your own classroom and give you greater confidence in delivering foreign language teaching.
Session 2:
The second session will explore a different aspect of MfL provision and will be agreed based on a needs assessment and feedback from session 1.
This course is being run over 2 sessions. Delegates are expected to ATTEND BOTH SESSIONS.
The sessions are taking place as follows:
SESSION 1: Thursday 5th March 2026 (13:00-16:00)
SESSION 2: Thursday 23rd April 2026 (13:00-16:00)
By booking a place on this course, you will secure 1 place on each of the 2 sessions.
We will be using Zoom (online video conferencing software) to host this online event.
