April 2024 Languages Update
Dear Colleagues,
I hope you have had a restful break and are ready for the summer term. As languages teachers you will likely be conducting speaking exams early on this term so I have made sure to include all the speaking exam support you may need at the very start of this update.
Please remember you can get in contact with all of your questions about Pearson Edexcel Languages qualifications. My contact details are at the bottom of this page.
Best wishes,
Rebecca Waker
Subject Advisor for Languages
Speaking exam conduct and admin support videos
Earlier in the year I shared these support videos made for GCSE and GCE A Level speaking assessments. If you are preparing to conduct these exams, now would be a good time to watch them as a refresher.
Proactive Associate Modern Foreign Languages
For those of you who will be working with us on the 2024 GCSEs in 2026 and beyond we have something new for you.
More information on this digital credential provided by Credly will be coming soon. In short, it is a way of recognising the work you are doing to familiarise yourself with the 2024 specification and ensure you are prepared not only to teach it but to examine it too. Once you’ve earned this badge you could use it in job applications, performance reviews or as evidence of the professional development you have completed.
If you’re signed up with us then you will hear more information about this soon. If you’re not yet signed up to work with us, take a look at our vacancies.
