Modern Foreign Languages (MFL)

Our goal for MFL education is that children gain an increasingly greater understanding on their world and other cultures, through our gems (big ideas) of:

The aim of teaching and learning in Modern Foreign Languages at KS2 will be practical communication through written and spoken language.

Understanding of Language - Pupils will work towards building words and phrases into sentences, have opportunities to engage in conversations and read and understand written material including from authentic sources.

Fluency and Confidence - Increased fluency will be developed by building up and revisiting a bank of vocabulary to express opinions and ask questions.

Curiosity of Language and Cultures - A positive attitude towards learning Modern Foreign Languages and an appreciation of learning about cultures different to our own is fostered from the Early Years Foundation Stage and throughout KS1.

At our school, the Modern Foreign Language we teach is French.
