Great ideas form @theniceman.bsky.social (Vincent Everett) on developing fluency at GCSE. Happening now!

You're missing @botonessalgado.bsky.social talking about getting pupils communicating on the topic and everything else follows. Then it transfers to other topics. If you signed up to STALL it's happening now!

Just a reindeer:
If you are signed up for @all4languages.bsky.social STALL tonight with me and @botonessalgado.bsky.social it's in an hour or so!

You are right! That’s another job going on too.

If you signed up for this week's STALL with me and @botonessalgado.bsky.social on spontaneous speaking and the new GCSE, it's tomorrow! Just a reindeer in case you forgot!
