Teaching GCSE languages is about much more than simply ‘delivering’ a specification — we want to help students connect with languages and spark a curiosity that stays with them well beyond the classroom.
In developing our 2024 resources, we have thought carefully about how to combine logical grammar progression, comprehensive vocabulary and phonics coverage and systematic exam preparation within engaging, topic-driven modules — to enable students to speak and write about the things that they care about most.

A contexualised approach to vocabulary
You’ve told us that learning a language is about more than words. Mastering key vocabulary should be a springboard to discovering much more — and that’s why in developing our new GCSE resources, we have created schemes of work that provide comprehensive coverage of the Pearson Edexcel vocabulary lists, but in a way that is woven into engaging, relatable topics of study.
Planning
In working with authors and experts to develop the schemes of work, we have meticulously planned how the vocabulary in the lists should best appear within and across topics.
Tracking
As we have written and developed the resources, we have closely tracked where key vocabulary appears and is recycled, adjusting as necessary to ensure we are providing the right amount of coverage and repetition.
Recycling
We have developed a bespoke AI tool that allows us to instantly look within and across modules to see where vocabulary items appear and re-appear and where further finessing of the scheme of work is needed, to ensure the resources work seamlessly alongside it.
Practice
Through our brand-new digital teaching and learning platform, ActiveHub, students can access additional independent practice of vocabulary items, building on their in-class learning to further consolidate this key area of knowledg eretention. This provides auto-marked, repeated practice of the specification vocabulary list with specific practice for Higher and Foundation tier students.
Mastering grammar
Our 2024 Pearson Edexcel MFL GCSE resources take a new, innovative approach to learning and mastering grammar. Developed with authors and subject experts, this contextualised approach to embedding grammar across receptive and productive skills helps develop students’ confidence inusing and manipulating structures.
Integrated grammar teaching
Each Student Book module now includes two dedicated grammar teaching spreads, with a variety of engaging tasks acrosslistening, speaking, reading and writing to help embed knowledge. These news preads extend and build on the grammar from the core teaching spreads.
Removing barriers
The integration of grammar into the topic of the module allows students to practise structures without the surrounding vocabulary forming a barrier to their understanding.
Combining structures
New grammar revision spreads throughout the Student Books encourage students to use grammar flexibly, helping them revise and combine structures to target higher grades.
Revisiting structures
Within and across modules, key grammar concepts are revisited at regular intervals, with each encounter increasing in complexity and building on prior knowledge. This spaced repetition is designed to support deeper understanding and retention over time.
Consolidation
Auto-marked activities on ActiveHub provide additional practice of grammar points, building on in-class learning, to further consolidate students’ knowledge and build their confidence.
