We contemplate once more the big issues around the place of grammar and how we teach it; whether or not we need a defined content at different key stages to support progression; the tensions between the ways in which we prepare pupils for assessment and the achievement of deep, meaningful learning; which languages are the most appropriate for pupils in the 21st century and does one size fit all when it comes to exams?How do we respond to this as teachers? It's crucial that we take part in the consultation process and make our voices heard. We need to work together, through our subject associations and other networks, to be seen to speak with one voice and make the strongest possible case for languages to be part of a curriculum fit for the globalised 21st century world. In addition, we must offer young people enjoyable, appropriate and rewarding language learning experiences where they feel that they make real progress and have a strong sense of understanding and achievement."Search for suppliers of Languages related products on www.bettshow.com

Scienceray Barker, director at Besa, says:"Interestingly, the number of students who chose to study science rose this year; something which many would argue can be attributed to the 'Brian Cox effect'. Although there are questions surrounding what the new curriculum will look like, there is no doubt that science will become an increasingly core subject. If schools are going to meet requirements for the English Baccalaureate then science will become mandatory, especially if Britain wants to compete as a nation with places like China and India. At BETT, teachers interested in how technology is enhancing the teaching of science can find dedicated seminars and workshops, as well as science-specific products from exhibitors like Encyclopaedia Britannica and the National STEM Centre."
