VISION

Why do we learn MFL?

To gain improved communication and transferable skills in a variety of contexts
To realise that linguistic competence helps maximize students’ future career options

 

How will students achieve this?

Through clear progression and sequencing of lessons
Through full engagement of all students of all abilities

 

What will the outcomes be?

Confident, life long, language learners with cultural awareness
Long term retention of language knowledge

INTRODUCTION

As a team, we aim to:

  • Make language learning accessible and enjoyable
  • Emphasise the necessity of at least one modern foreign language in the Global context
  • Underline that linguistic competence helps to maximise pupils future options in career terms

PROGRAMME OF STUDY

Each subject programme of study will:

  • Provide a clear and coherent learning journey
  • Foster subject-based understanding of new knowledge, concepts and methods
  • Ensure students acquire knowledge and give opportunities for recall and application of this knowledge so that fluency is developed
  • Require students to think and reason for themselves
  • Explanations and resources enable students to engage with and master learning
  • Learning should develop a depth of understanding that brings richness to the subject but also a breadth of understanding that enriches wider life and learning
  • Develop a readiness for the next stage: be this the next lesson, the next unit of work, the next year or key stage; it prepares students for both academic, A Level, and future degree study, or vocational learning
  • Contain appropriate, regular and robust assessment methods for measuring student progress and to allow intervention where progress is not as expected.
