Why should I attend?
The new A-level has brought about huge changes in the last two years,
providing students with more chances to succeed and the opportunity to
study cultural topics which meet their needs and match their interests. It
has provided teachers with fresh challenges, seeking inventive ways to
teach students to allow them to become independent language learners and
ready for success.

There are two modules to this course:
1. Integrated teaching and learning
2. Improving speaking and writing skills
The emphasis of the day will be firmly on what works well for A-level
students. Delegates will leave with a wide range of ideas to equip students
with skills for success. Practical, tried and tested strategies will be
examined and many resources will be ready for use the next day!
Consideration will be given to the different modules of A-level, analysing
how to integrate teaching and learning to ensure that students develop in
all skill areas. Examples of cultural topics will be demonstrated, including
Schemes of Work which have been successful in the past. Snappy starters
and plenaries will be trialled, showing delegates how these can help
students think and become reflective language learners. If you are ready to
breathe new life into your A-level lessons, this is the course for you!
