Modern Foreign Language

At St Alban’s C of E Academy, our Modern Foreign Language Curriculum is designed to provide a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for the pupils. It provides excitement, enjoyment and challenge for both children and teachers; helping to create enthusiastic learners and to develop positive attitudes to language learning throughout life. The natural links between languages and other areas of the curriculum can enrich the overall teaching and learning experience.

Our curriculum is designed for the following learning criteria so that each pupil:

• Understands and responds to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources;
• Speaks with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity.
• Finds ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation;
• Is able to write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt.
• Develops an appreciation and enjoyment of a range of writing in the target language.
