We are very grateful to Mathilde Bouquin et Julien Violette, languages consultants at Harris federation who are willing to share their expertise with the wider community.  Teachers currently teaching Year 11 in particular will be keen to pick up ideas as we approach the last two terms of Year 11. They describe the session as follows:

Our sessions will focus on the sharing of best practice for the new GCSE course and provide opportunities to look at samples of student response and marking from exam board examiners.

Teachers will consolidate what we have learnt so far about the new GCSE examinations and will develop effective teaching strategies to prepare KS4 students for their exams. This will include practical ideas on a variety of exam questions across the 4 components. Teachers will also gain confidence in marking a range of  student answers in Speaking and Writing.

Objectives:

• We will consolidate what we have learnt so far about the new Edexcel GCSE examinations.
• We will develop effective teaching strategies to prepare KS4 students for their exams.
• We will review practical ideas on a variety of exam questions across the components.

In the session, we will be using material and samples from Pearson Edexcel, however all strategies and suggestions can be adapted to the AQA specifications.
