I note that Ofqual and DfE are currently consulting on changes to the content of MFL GCSE.
I would be very interested in the views of BATOD members involved in teaching, or supporting the teaching of, MFL on the implications of these changes (eg the introduction of dictation) on deaf candidates. I would be happy to include them in any BATOD response to the consultations.
The documents are here:

Please send me any thoughts or comments you may have by the end of April.
