Modern Foreign Languages

A different language is a different vision of life’ – Federico Fellini

At Edenbridge Primary School, we teach French to all children in Key Stage 2. We follow the Language Angels scheme of work.  This carefully planned sequence of lessons meets all the requirements of the DfE Languages Programme of Study for KS2 so that substantial learning and progression is achieved. All pupils will be expected to achieve their full potential by encouraging high expectations and standards in their foreign language learning – the ultimate aim being that pupils will feel willing and able to continue studying languages beyond key stage 2.

The four key language learning skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing will be taught and all necessary grammar will be covered in an age-appropriate way across the primary phase. This will enable pupils to use and apply their learning in a variety of contexts, laying down solid foundations for future language learning and also helping the children improve overall attainment in other subject areas.

The intent is that all pupils will develop a genuine interest and positive curiosity about foreign languages, finding them enjoyable and stimulating. Learning a second language will also offer pupils the opportunity to explore relationships between language and identity, develop a deeper understanding of other cultures and the world around them with a better awareness of self, others and cultural differences. The intention is that they will be working towards becoming life-long language learners.
