Knowledge and skills:

Through our curriculum, students:

• Build knowledge and understand how concepts and skills link between topics and subjects - The study of a language encompasses the study of another culture’s history, geography, religion, festivals and traditions.
• Develop confidence in communication skills and have the opportunity to critically question and debate - Improve students’ oracy so that they can express themselves with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation, thus improving their confidence and fluency when communicating their own language.
• Develop a love of reading and the skills to read fluently, having the opportunity to explore wider significant and exclusive texts - Discover and develop an appreciation of foreign sources and authentic sources in the language studied
• Learn to self-regulate and work independently as well as collaboratively - pair work, group work and games.
• Learn about the world around them and inclusive historical contexts - Discover and develop an appreciation of a range of other cultural forms, such as music and film, in the language studied - Understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources - Understand the importance of diversity and recognise that other languages and cultures are equally valid.
