Plenary with Steven Fawkes.
Steven is a thoughtful and entertaining speaker. He never forgets that the core purpose of a teacher is to share a personal love of languages, and he is always able to demonstrate intelligent ways of enthusing learners, whatever the external constraints of curriculum and assessment. He leads initiatives in a wide range of areas on behalf of ALL, and this includes promoting ways to make language learning more inclusive. We can guarantee that you will feel inspired by a dose of Steven at the start of the day!
Primary session:
Our primary committee members have prepared a great session for you! Miriam will lead a warm-up activity, Darnelle will then introduce an activity to promote language awareness, sharing the message that all languages are valuable and that this is part of decolonising.
Amy Lennon and Ellie Chettle-Cully will then share their own practice and there will be a chance at the end for people to ask questions or share their own ideas.
Overall, the aim is to demonstrate activities which could be replicated in other settings. We will also advertise and promote the launch meeting of the Primary decolonising the curriculum Special Interest Group.
Secondary session
GCSE 2024 Up-date
Although not all of the new GCSE specifications will have been accredited by Ofqual by Saturday, Helen Myers has enough information to present a useful, up-dated and impartial comparison, based on documentation and additional insight from meetings with the exam board representatives.
We are delighted that Adam Lamb has accepted our invitation to follow up his January presentation by telling us more about how he is preparing for the new GCSE, with specific examples relating to phonics and CPD planning.

Countries and Cultures in the Curriculum and the Classroom

Nathalie Blondeau always brims with ideas which she uses in her own work as a Harris Federation Languages consultant, but which she also so generously shares with others. She has prepared a presentation which covers both decolonisation and the EDI agenda, striving to make the curriculum more inclusive and to make resources as diverse as possible. She will share resources, lessons and schemes of work including story books for Y7,8,9 which follow diverse families. One of our most recent ALL London committee recruits, Ali Koubaa, will show us how he uses these resources in his school in Orpington. WE are really looking forward to this very practical session.

We look forward to meeting you!
Trainee teachers are invited to come along and find out about The Association for Language Learning, an independent professional language association which puts you in touch with other teachers, keeps you informed, and is invited to national-level consultations.
This is above all a ‘social’ event (with some refreshments!) allowing you to meet up with London-based student teachers who are planning to become teachers and the enthusiastic volunteers who organise regular ‘get-togethers’ for teachers. After a short ‘ice-breaking’ activity which will ensure you meet up with other students, teachers will share their ‘Top teaching Tips’ and Committee members will tell you about ALL and what is being planned for the year. There will be a booklet of Teaching Tips from the Committee, a chance to find out what London-based language institutes can offer you, and refreshments. What more could you want?!
Arrive any time from 4.30 pm for a 5 pm start. We aim to conclude by 6.00 pm.
Please sign up here on Eventbrite to help with our catering and printing. We look forward to meeting you!
Please note that we have limited capacity. Please sign up in advance to attend. Please help us by letting us know in advance if you cannot use the ticket so that others are not disappointed. Thanks for your cooperation!
We are very grateful to King’s College London for hosting us in a wonderfully accessible London venue. (Nearest tube: London Bridge).
