MFL

Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages education should

foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world.

The teaching should 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 should 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.

At Key Stage 2, Modern Foreign Languages are taught to develop key linguistic skills. Though, they also support children's social development,

as they learn about other countries and cultures. Pupils will be taught how to: Listen attentively to spoken language and show understanding by joining

in and responding.

At Halebank C E Primary School we have chosen Language Angels as our scheme for teaching French. The scheme provides ready made resources, full curriculum guidance, tracking and assessment and professional development opportunities for teachers. All these resources, provided by foreign language teaching professionals with expertise and experience, will give our pupils the best possible opportunities to engage with the learning of a new language.
