Festive December Resource
With the countdown to the Christmas break almost upon us, we’ve created a festive pack of activities for you and your students to enjoy between now and the New Year. Whether completed in class or as part of homework, our new resource pack includes a range of activities and ideas that you can adapt as you wish, such as festive quizzes, charades, word searches and more!
Real and relatable role play scenarios
Building on the role play settings used within the new qualification, this resource provides teachers with ideas of real and relevant scenarios they could play out in the classroom.
To get you started, we’ve identified a selection of relatable scenarios your students may encounter. From important interactions such as requesting medical help, to social situations with friends, these activities have been designed to offer conversations that students can relateto, and easily immerse themselves in.
Inspire your students to learn languages
After speaking with a diverse range of language enthusiasts, from BAFTA Award winning producers to Police Sergeants, we have put together several posters with their most inspirational quotes to get your students excited about studying languages.
Celebrating a summer of sport
This summer will see multiple international sporting events, capturing the gaze of millions across the globe.
What better way to inspire learning a new language than preparing to speak to tourists, athletes and fans, discussing what to see, who you are, as well as celebrating and making friends.
To celebrate a summer of sport, we’ve built a selection of fun games and classroom activities for you to try with your students.

Permission to Speak: Amplifying Marginalised Voices Through Languages
As part of our work to shine a light on the complete and often complicated history behind the growth of languages, we've partnered with leading language educators and leaders through the Association for Language Learning Decolonise Secondary MFL Special Interest Group to address 'diversifying the MFL curriculum' and to create a new series that aims to illuminate the hidden stories of marginalised people and cultures.
