The aim of our MFL curriculum at Baden-Powell & St. Peter's is to provide an engaging and inclusive environment in which our pupils can gain the confidence and skills to communicate in a foreign language with increasing independence; we teach them vocabulary, grammar and phonics, as well as dictionary skills, through listening, speaking, reading and writing activities and we provide opportunities for children to apply both their knowledge and skills in different contexts. Our MFL curriculum also enables us to explore the diversity of different cultures and to see the importance of our school values of Respect, Friendship, Compassion, Aspiration and Resilience when learning a new language.

 

The knowledge and skills that we have chosen to include in our MFL curriculum derive directly from the objectives set out in the National Curriculum (2014) and are in line with CLP guidance for MFL.

The sequence of our MFL curriculum is primarily based on providing a context in which to teach the key grammatical concepts progressively so that they can be built upon and combined as pupils move through the school. Where possible and relevant, the half-termly unit links to the overarching curriculum topic.

 

Lastly, we aim to highlight three substantive concepts which we consider to be integral to the subject of French –Communicating, Cultural Awareness and …...  We weave these ideas throughout our topics to further increase the relevance and real-world application of the learning the children encounter.
