Our Curriculum – MFL

'All individuals matter' 

At Winchelsea Primary School, our intent is to instil a love of language learning and an awareness of other cultures. We want pupils to develop the confidence to communicate in French for practical purposes, using both written and spoken French. Through our scheme of work, we aim to give pupils a foundation for language learning that encourages and enables them to apply their skills to learning other languages, developing a strong understanding of the English language, facilitating future study and opening opportunities to study and work in other countries in the future.

We follow the Kapow Primary French scheme of work, which supports pupils to meet the National Curriculum end of Key Stage 2 attainment targets (there are no Key Stage 1 attainment targets for Languages).

Our MFL curriculum of work is designed with six strands that run throughout. These are:

• Speaking and pronunciation
• Listening
• Reading and writing
• Grammar
• Intercultural understanding
• Language detective skills

Lessons incorporate a range of teaching strategies from independent tasks, paired and group work, including role-play, language games and language detective work.
