Intent

It is our intent at Trinity All Saints Primary School to provide all of our children with a high-quality education in Modern Foreign Language (MFL), which develops their love of learning about other languages and cultures. Our current MFL, taught is French, however we strive to provide children with opportunities to experience a range of other languages. It is our intention to ensure that by the end of our children’s primary education, they have acquired an understanding of both spoken and written French, confidence to speak in French with others and know how important other languages can be in their future. 

Implementation 

We teach French as our Modern Foreign Language in KS”. It s taught in a whole –class setting, using the CGP+ scheme of work. The lessons are designed to motivate children from the first moment and have clear, achievable objectives and incorporate creative activities for different learning styles. French lessons provide a variety of sources to model language, use games, stories and songs to maximise enjoyment and make as many connections to real life situations as possible. We focus on speaking and listening in Year 3- gradually developing skills in reading and writing in order to lay the foundations for foreign language teaching in KS3. Each lesson, 
children build on the skills that they have already learnt and develop new ones through a range of fun, exciting and engaging activities:

• Learning French vocabulary
• Asking and answering questions, and following instructions in French. 
• Reinforcing memory with mine and physical actions. 
• Playing games and learning songs. 
• Video clips
• Teaching of basic French grammar, sentence structure and spelling patterns.
• Writing phrases and sentences. 

Impact 

With the high quality first teaching of French taking place, we will see the impact of 
the subject in the following ways: 

• Pupils will become aware that a language has a structure, and that the structure differs from one language to another. 
• Pupils will develop their language and communication through development of the four key skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing.
• Pupils will enrich their language learning by developing an understanding of the French culture. 
• Pupil will transfer to KS3 effectively
