Modern Foreign Languages

Through learning a foreign language, we want our children to have an opening to other cultures. By providing diverse language education, we increase and foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. The teaching enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It also provide opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language. Language teaching should provide the foundation for learning further languages, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries.

Aims  

We want all pupils to understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources. They will speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation. We are determined that our should be able to write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt and discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied. By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study.
