Modern Foreign Languages at Bedford Drive Primary School
“To learn a language is to have one more window from which to view the world”
Here at Bedford Drive Primary School we believe that the learning of a foreign language provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for pupils.
Our chosen modern foreign language is French. As well as learning the language, we want our pupils to learn about French culture and their traditions, as well as comparing their way of living with our own. This helps foster our pupil’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world.
The national curriculum for languages aims to ensure that all pupils:
understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt
discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied
