Modern Foreign Languages
Hullavington CE Primary School believes that the learning of a foreign language provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for all our pupils. The learning of a foreign language provides a medium for crossâcurricular links and for reinforcement of knowledge, skills and understanding developed in other subjects. Every child in KS2 takes part in a weekly MFL lesson. As a school we have chosen to study French.
Through language learning, we aim for our pupils to:
- develop a positive attitude towards language learning through a range of learning activities.
- increase their cultural awareness by learning about different countries and their people
- use their knowledge with growing confidence and competence to understand what they hear and read
- become aware that language has a structure, and that this structure differs from one language to another;
- form a sound basis for further study at key stage 3 and beyond.
Following the national curriculum, by the end of KS2 all pupils will:
- understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
- speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity
- be able to write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt.
