September always feels like a fresh start. New pupils, new routines, and plenty of new opportunities to inspire language learning. While you’ve been recharging over the summer, we’ve been busy too, and we’re so excited to share what’s waiting for you this year.

The best part? Most of these new features are already included in your membership.

Language Boosters 2.0

We know how much you value keeping pupils engaged, both inside and outside the classroom. That’s why we’ve reimagined the Language Boosters app, and the brand-new 2.0 version is now live.

It’s quick to set up, so you can get started straight away.
Pupils love the interactive activities (they won’t even realise how much progress they’re making).
Teachers can track learning at a glance.

Think of it as a bridge between school and home: pupils get to keep learning in a fun, bite-sized way, and you gain visibility without adding to your workload.

And yes, it’s included at no extra cost for PLN members. 🎉

Celebrating Pupils and Supporting Teachers

This year, we’re adding two new resources.

1. Language Ambassador Badges

A small idea with a big impact — our badges help you celebrate subject champions and give pupils something tangible to aspire to. Recognition goes a long way in building confidence.

2. PLN Workbooks

Alongside your schemes and the app, we’re now offering pre-printed workbooks for your pupils in French & Spanish.

These are designed to:

Save hours of printing and preparation.
Give pupils a consistent, high-quality resource to work in.
Support both progress and engagement across the school.

For many of you, these will slot neatly into what you’re already doing and make the day-to-day a little lighter.

Recognition We’re Proud Of

We’re thrilled to share that PLN has once again been shortlisted for the Teach Primary Awards. It’s always rewarding to see our collective effort — yours and ours — recognised by the wider education community. We’ll keep you posted when the results are announced!

CPD: A Year of Growing Together

Professional learning is at the heart of what we do. Our upcoming events are designed to help you and your colleagues feel more confident, inspired, and supported in delivering languages.

Coming up soon:

French and Spanish Phonics – strengthen foundations for every learner.
Leadership in Primary Languages – 9th October.
Languages in KS1 – practical approaches for early years. 23rd October

Follow us on Eventbrite to stay in the loop as new sessions are added.

This Month’s Freebie: EDoL Song 2025 🎶

Music brings language learning alive, and we’re so excited about this year’s new song from Joanne Eccleshare. The theme is Destiny, asking pupils the powerful question: “Where can languages take you?”

The freebie includes:

The song in both French and Spanish.
A sing-along backing track.
Linked classroom resources to make it easy to use.

Download it for free until the end of September using codes EDOL25FR (French) or EDOL25SP (Spanish).
