What does the latest evidence say about maximising progression in primary languages? Learning is optimised when:
👉1hr per week of language learning is offered throughout the school year.
👉digital tools are used to facilitate quality learning resources and assessment. @SuzanneJaneGrah
It's official! 😉 Values and being valued are central to teaching and learning.
Our research shows:
👉 confident teachers are crucial for optimising languages education outcomes.
👉teacher competence is significantly improved by research-informed, online CPD.
👉 scaffolded approaches (reflection, collaboration, contextualisation, experimentation, reflection) support teachers to implement evidence-based practice.
👉 collaborative CPD supports teachers' sense of being valued, their professional learning and validated their expertise.
digital tools can offer accessible ITE and CPD which are essential factors in capacity-building for primary languages. @SuzanneJaneGrah @ALL4language @APPGML @network_primary
