What is Modern Foreign Languages?

At Holly Grove Primary School we teach Modern Foreign Languages to all our Key Stage 2 children in a fun and interactive way as part of an outstanding learning experience. 

Aims

  • We believe that learning a foreign language provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for pupils.
  • They develop communication and literacy skills that lay the foundation for future learning of languages.
  • Pupils develop linguistic competence, extend their knowledge of how language works and explore differences and similarities between a foreign language and English.
  • Learning another language raises awareness of the multilingual and multicultural world around us.
  • The learning of a foreign language provides a medium for cross-curricular links and for reinforcement of knowledge, skills and understanding developed in other subjects.
  • At Holly Grove, children will acquire some knowledge and understanding of the different languages and cultures in the world today.

Our Modern Foreign Language Curriculum

To ensure children are taught and remember the appropriate knowledge and skills relating to MFL we have created a Key Stage 2 progressive breakdown of the national curriculum expectations, this draws on the skills and knowledge being taught across all subject areas and hopes to contribute to the development of key concepts and themes in a deep and connected way.
