Overview

Primary Foreign Languages Curriculum

Overview details provided by La Jolie Ronde (Spanish)

Our Vision: 

At Locking Primary School, we believe that the learning of a foreign language provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for pupils. Through our language curriculum we endeavour to develop children’s skills, resilience and confidence so that they can participate in an increasingly global society and communicate with others effectively, especially when this communication is difficult or there is a barrier. We strive to grow children’s curiosity and foster an eagerness to explore different languages and cultures, which will last a lifetime.

To complement the La Jolie Ronde scheme, we also have access to the resources on Language Angels. Through this website we use the teaching resources as well as games and songs. The children can access these games and songs at home. Each class has their own class login.

Key Stage 2

Teaching may be of any modern or ancient foreign language and should focus on enabling pupils to make substantial progress in one language. The teaching should provide an appropriate balance of spoken and written language and should lay the foundations for further foreign language teaching at key stage 3. It should enable pupils to understand and communicate ideas, facts and feelings in speech and writing, focused on familiar and routine matters, using their knowledge of phonology, grammatical structures and vocabulary. The focus of study in modern languages will be on practical communication. If an ancient language is chosen the focus will be to provide a linguistic foundation for reading comprehension and an appreciation of classical civilisation. Pupils studying ancient languages may take part in simple oral exchanges, while discussion of what they read will be conducted in English. A linguistic foundation in ancient languages may support the study of modern languages at key stage 3.
