Modern Foreign Languages
Through a range of engaging educational activities which focus on developing language awareness and practising listening and speaking micro-skills, we will enable our pupils to grow into confident linguists who can perform real world communicative tasks with spontaneity and fluency. By continuously revisiting vocabulary and empowering pupils on the very best techniques that support memory, we'll nurture confidence in their ability, creating a positive mindset in language acquisition, regardless of their linguistic background.
We will practise the four key skills of communication - speaking, listening, reading and writing – whilst also offering regular opportunities for students to discover the cultures of different countries. We use new technologies both in lessons and for home learning. Students will be engaged and learn through games, group work, role play, competitions and a variety of apps.
KS2
Having studied French from Year 3, the continuity in terms of grammar and topics into Year 4 will help our learners feel confident about learning different languages. It will also challenge them in new ways as they will be expected to broaden their knowledge of vocabulary and expand their understanding of grammar.
