Vision

Our French curriculum encourages children to develop an interest in learning other languages, in a way that is enjoyable and stimulating. We encourage children’s confidence and creative skills. We strive to stimulate and encourage children’s curiosity about language. We help children develop their awareness of cultural differences in other countries. We strive to embed the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills necessary to enable children to use and apply their French learning in a variety of contexts and lay the foundations for future language learning. It is the intention that all children in KS2 will access first quality teaching of French in order to adequately prepare them for KS3.

The iLanguages curriculum follows the 2014 Primary MFL National Curriculum and pupils should be able to;- 

• Understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources 
• 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 
• Write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt 
• Discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied
