- The confidence to speak with good intonation and pronunciation
- Fluency in reading
- Fluency in imagination in writing
- A strong awareness of the culture of the countries where the language is spoken
- A passion for languages and a commitment to the subject.
- The ability to use language creatively and spontaneously.
- An independence in their studies and the ability to draw upon a wide range of resources.
Pupils develop an understanding of how subjects and specific skills are linked to future jobs.
Here are some of the jobs you could aspire to do in the future as an Linguist:
Our pupils should be able to organise their knowledge, skills and understanding around the following key concepts:
- To read fluently
- To write imaginatively
- To speak confidently
- To understand the culture of the countries in which the language is spoken.
These key concepts underpin learning in each milestone. This enables pupils to reinforce and build upon prior learning, make connections and develop subject specific language in French. The use of the scheme Rigolo helps support teachers in delivering engaging, high quality French lessons.
The vertical accumulation of knowledge and skills from Years 1 to 6 is mapped as follows in the booklet below:
Modern Foreign Language Milestones
Curriculum Progression- Modern Foreign Language
The impact of our curriculum is measured in terms of the extent to which pupils have developed new knowledge, understanding and skills and that they can use and recall this with fluency.
This will be measured by:
- Lesson observations and work scrutiny
- Termly testing and teacher assessments, pupil progress meetings, reporting to governors etc.
- Internal and external moderation
- Subject review, feedback and action plans
- Reporting to parents
- Pupil voice – questionnaires, pupil book reviews
- Subject Leader monitoring – Lesson visits, scrutiny of books, assessment, pupil interviews and questionnaires
- Outcomes at the end of EYFS, KS1 and KS2
- ASPIRE Awards
- Governor monitoring
