Association for Language Learning Conference

The 2025 Oxfordshire Association for Language Learning (ALL) Conference will focus on how to teach listening skills effectively. Join us online or in person to explore the role of phonics teaching to support listening skills, and to prepare students for the dictation and reading aloud tasks included in the new GCSE examinations in French, Spanish and German. We will also look at the development of listening skills across Key Stage Three, harnessing AI to support the teaching of listening skills, and how songs can be exploited to develop listening and speaking skills in the classroom. Whether online or in person, attendees are invited to join their professional subject association community, sharing research-informed ideas, practical resources and expertise
