Portuguese teaching platform for KS3 and GCSE

Use Grade 9 School for Portuguese lesson planning, vocabulary, translation, speaking and writing tasks, homework, live practice, printables and progress tracking. Portuguese is currently Beta.

Grade 9 School brings curriculum, lesson planning, practice, homework, feedback, live activities, printables and progress tracking into one connected teaching workflow.

On this page

Portuguese is implemented in Grade 9 School as a target language and is currently labelled Beta. Teachers can create Portuguese classes, use Portuguese curriculum contexts, set language work and keep later assignment and progress evidence attached to the same class.

Because Portuguese is Beta, Grade 9 does not claim identical feature depth at every level. The useful model is a connected Portuguese workflow with capability-aware content rather than a promise that every menu mirrors Spanish or French.

Everything in one place

One platform for teaching, practice, feedback and progress.

Plan lessons, set homework, run live activities, generate printables, give AI-supported marking and track progress across Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian.

One department, one workflow

Spanish · French · German · Portuguese · Italian

Use the same platform architecture across the languages your department teaches, while keeping each class in its own language and curriculum context.

01Create a Portuguese class with its own curriculum context

Portuguese is stored as the target language for the class. The teacher also chooses the curriculum level, so later vocabulary, assignment, resource and progress workflows can use the correct Portuguese context.

This avoids treating Portuguese as an afterthought inside a Spanish-first system. The class itself carries the language choice.

02Use built-in Portuguese planning where it is available

The current scheme-of-work system includes Portuguese in the verified MFL planning set, including KS3 levels and GCSE. Teachers can select Portuguese planning data and use it as the starting point for lessons, resources and follow-up work.

Departments can also create or link custom curricula when they need a different sequence, course design or locally chosen vocabulary.

03Combine vocabulary, translation, reading and listening

Portuguese vocabulary content is registered separately in the platform and can feed into independent practice and assignment workflows. Reading and listening generation services include Portuguese target-language support, and current listening generation uses the appropriate Portuguese language configuration for supported workflows.

Availability remains capability-based, so the platform should expose the Portuguese content that actually exists for the selected level rather than presenting empty or misleading routes.

04Set Portuguese speaking and writing work

The current speaking service includes Portuguese as a target language. Teachers can set speaking and writing tasks, collect pupil work and use AI-supported feedback with teacher review.

That gives Portuguese classes access to the same overall feedback workflow while preserving the Beta qualification around breadth and maturity.

05Use Portuguese in homework and live classroom practice

Assignments keep their target-language and curriculum context, and live classroom activities use the selected language content. A Portuguese class can therefore move from taught content into retrieval, homework and progress evidence without the teacher having to rebuild the context each time.

The gradebook and progress views then help the teacher see completion and performance across that work.

06What Beta means here

Beta means Portuguese is implemented and usable, but Grade 9 should not imply that every Portuguese level has exactly the same catalogue or feature depth as the most mature language areas.

Teachers should work from the content exposed for their selected class and curriculum, review generated language before teaching from it, and use custom resources where their course needs something beyond the built-in catalogue.
