A webinar with Helen Myers: Getting to grips with the new GCSE

Thursday 19th October 2023 8.00pm – 8.45 pm

It was lovely to see so many at our Thursday evening webinar.  We know that many signed up who were not able to attend, and we hope that this page is of interest!  Scroll down to see the description, recording, pdf of the presentation, class photo (!) and chat transcript.

Description

ALL London organises webinars for the MFL community and this webinar is open to all MFL teachers. We hope that you will like us and want to join!

With a focus on the exam papers, using Sample Assessment Materials [SAMS] and mark schemes, Helen looks at the following questions:
1. To what extent do they have the same or different requirements compared with current?
2. To what extent do the exam boards have a common or different approach?
3. To what extent are there implications for your scheme of work?

To support this webinar, Helen has made a detailed analysis of the requirements of the new GCSE, written a comprehensive document presenting the subject content, Ofqual requirements and exam board specification, and recorded a series of related videos. See her blogpost here for info and download.

This webinar is open to all, but of course we hope you will want to join ALL if you are not already a member in order to ensure you have access to all the great member benefits! https://www.all-languages.org.uk/join/
