We believe that learning another language gives children a new and broader perspective on the world, encouraging them to understand their own cultures and those of others. Pupils will develop a genuine interest and positive curiosity about foreign languages, finding them enjoyable, stimulating and giving them a deeper understanding of the multi-lingual world which we live in. We are committed to ensure that the inclusive teaching of Spanish enables pupils to interpret, create and exchange meaning within and across cultures; laying the foundations for further foreign language teaching at Key Stage 3.
What is our Approach to MFL?
Our approach to the teaching of Spanish will help children develop their competencies in four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing enabling them to become confident communicators with a love of languages following a positive experience of language acquisition. We also look to develop skills that can be transferred to other areas of learning (trial and error, adopting a different perspective, interpretation of clues, problem solving, teamwork, empathy etc.)
We aim for children to be able to do in Spanish what they can do in English meaning that we tap into their interests and help them to see language as more than just a means to an end’
