MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES

CURRICULUM INTENT

 

“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things but learning another way to think about things.”

Flora Lewis

 

At Spilsby Primary Academy, our aim is to foster our pupil’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. We aim to develop an interest in learning other languages in a way that is enjoyable and stimulating and develop their awareness of cultural similarities and differences around the world. We believe that the importance of language and cultural awareness will develop skills that will open up further opportunities later in life.

 


IMPLEMENTATION

  • Promote enjoyment and purpose of learning a new language
  • French songs introduced
  • Use of a clear progressive sequence of learning that builds in spiral fashion.
  • Pupils develop their knowledge and skills in the key pillars of speaking, listening, writing and an awareness of the importance of grammar.

 

The fundamentals

  • A belief that every child can learn a new language
  • Key vocabulary focus
  • Displays to promote the language
  • Weekly sessions in KS2
  • Revisit key elements: practise and apply - aim for fluency
