It was good to see new faces and great pleasure to see a known and well-respected face from the past yesterday at Aston University. In a slightly changed presentation from last week's version at Birmingham University I wanted to engage delegates in a discussion about the options for encouraging creativity at KS5. It turned out to be a really interesting session (even though I was being filmed by the Aston media dept, terrifying), even touching on widespread frustrations at the new GCSE's lack of target language and the fact that in some boards listening has become a severely neglected skill at post-16 level. Grr. Anyway there's nothing revoultionary in the presentation which includes mentions of great work done by Alex Blagona, Chris Harte and a few mentions of José Picardo.
