#mflbluesky, is anyone on here teaching (or having taught) Au revoir les enfants for A-level French? trying to help a friend's daughter, but I have no materials on it. I can obviously make some links with the book I teach, Un Sac de Billes, but it would be good to get help from an expert on the film

If your MFL grades are a grade lower than pupils' other subjects, that is simply because that is how the grades are allocated.

A different way to do a GCSE reading in class. I did this today to a great success with Y10. Let me know if you give it a go, you won't regret it! #MFLBluesky
A wonderfully creative 'treasure hunt' style reading activity for the new AQA CGSE on the 'quinceañera' topic. A story divided into 10 chapters, quiz, and answers. Cultural capital + advanced grammar + exam skills... and great FUN!

“A city divided in two,” according to the Daily Mail: “The Spanish avoid the British like the plague.” -This is what happens when you don't want to learn the language, integrate or mix with the locals.

Post on trying to teach the photocard based on teaching the pupils a coherent body of Spanish they can deploy. Will the markscheme mean this is a fool's errand?
Markscheme is turning the photo card into a nightmare.
Same class. Pupil who tried to do it properly did worse than the pupil who ALWAYS says
There are 2 people.
There is a man. There is a woman. He is nice. She is nice.

I've been waiting for this for the last couple of years. This goes to all the Spanish teachers in the UK who work so hard, particularly those who introduced Spanish to MFL departments for the first time. It has been great to see the growth in popularity. #MFLBluesky
