Our MFL teacher conference is a free event held on the University of Leeds campus on Friday 19 June 2026. We invite school language teachers from across the country to take part in a programme of presentations and workshops on language pedagogy, with practical ideas for the MFL classroom. Teachers will have the opportunity to network with other MFL teachers, and lunch and refreshments are provided.

Sign ups are now open to the MFL Teacher Conference 2026. See the 2026 programme and link to the sign up form https://accessandoutreach.leeds.ac.uk/arts-and-humanities/mfl-teacher-conference/

Forgotten Stories of Latin American Sport
A group of students recently took part in an extracurricular research project exploring forgotten
stories of Latin American sport. The project introduced them to digitised newspapers, digital
research tools, and new ways of analysing and presenting historical sources.
Two students, Toby Reid (2nd year) and Fraser Sackfield (1st year), have now completed the
project and recorded a podcast sharing the stories they uncovered and their research journey.
The podcast has been published on Leeds Student Radio and is available to listen to online.
To celebrate the project, a short event will take place on Thursday 7 May, 5–6pm

The event will showcase the research process, the stories found, and what the students gained
from the experience. Everyone is welcome to attend
