Backpacker Central - Travel via Language Learning

I have been an MFL teacher of French, German and Spanish for 15 years and have always striven to inspire pupils through my creativity and through my use of analogies. The new GCSE (2025) presents the opportunity to look at language learning with fresh eyes. Do you just teach to the exam specification? How do we build culture into our lessons with so little time on our hands? Each resource in the Backpackers range focuses on a country in detail and contextualizes the pupils' learning.
