Year 10 are finding them so helpful - we are teaching OCRB Elizabethans at the moment. We will work them into KS3 too, I'm sure - so helpful!

I talked recently to our SLT about some of the stuff we want our curric to do. I reckon MFL does some things on my list more than almost any other subject, and we lose a hell of a lot if we focus only on the instrumentalist angle and let langs become even more of a (wealthy) minority pursuit.

Subjects:
- Threat to MFL from removal of EBacc. This is very precarious and needs strong protection.
- Will offer of Triple Science for all actually lead to greater equity or just mean lower grades for some?

Diamine would be my recommendation too.

Such a good book! Made teaching this at A-level a joy, and inspiration for teaching at GCSE and KS3 too. One of my top favourite textbooks and always especially loved the diagrams.

Surely a correlation between those who learned one or both and confidence in spelling - @teachertapp.bsky.social will you be testing this?

I was so lucky to have had the chance to learn both Latin and Greek at school - so few young people get that chance now. I would love to see that trend reversed. Ancient languages in primary, supporting MFL in secondary @classicsforall.bsky.social ?
