This webinar will provide headteachers, senior leaders, modern foreign languages (MFL) leads, teachers and practitioners with advice and practical guidance on supporting the participation of all pupils in MFL lessons in mainstream schools, including those with physical, intellectual or developmental disabilities, such as autism.

The SEND code of practice 2015 highlights the importance of including pupils with SEND ‘in all the opportunities available to other children and young people so they can achieve well’. Full access to the MFL curriculum has the potential to enhance not only pupil attainment, but also teamworking skills, social interaction, self-esteem and wellbeing.

In this webinar, the Association of Language Learning (ALL) , the UK’s major subject association for those involved in the teaching of foreign languages, will explore research evidence and guidance relating to SEND provision in mainstream schools, highlight misconceptions which can be detrimental to the attainment of pupils with SEND, and identify the essential components of high-quality and inclusive teaching, with examples of their application in the MFL classroom.
