This podcast episode is the one I needed to hear 6 years ago, when I was pregnant with my son! I often see amazing women building incredible careers and I often want to ask them "but how do you fit it in around your family?!"

So today, I'm giving my take on how I've built Kate Languages around my family, how the business and my working patterns have changed over the years, and how my child's sleep seems to have a huge impact on everything I do!

In this episode of the Kate Languages Podcast, I'm releasing the audio of a workshop I ran in August 2024 all about the AQA GCSE speaking exams.

In today's episode, I answer a listener question all about delegating.

Whether you're a classroom teacher, a head of subject/department, or an education business owner, there are lots of great tips in this episode for you!

From knowing what to delegate, when is the right time to do it, how to communicate clearly with the person you're delegating to, and what to do when it feels like it would be quicker and easier to just do the work yourself, you'll definitely walk away from the episode with some actionable ideas that you can implement straight away.

This episode is all about writing! Specifically, how to ensure your students are acing their writing in MFL lessons.

Taken from my self-paced online course "Structuring an Outstanding MFL Lesson" (https://www.katelanguages.co.uk/offers/joEeNHLn/checkout), this episode outlines how to use a model answer as a basis for a writing task in a lesson. I also describe why it's so important to allow students to redraft their writing, and as always, I have some low-prep ideas for activities that you can do to help students to improve their writing skills immediately.

Keep an eye on my social media (I'm @katelanguages on Instagram and Facebook) for details of my workshop about writing, delivered by the fabulous Abbie Stratford (@whynotlanguages_ on Instagram)!

Plus, lots more wonderful teachers, and a few games and activities from me, too.
