French

At Shiplake, the intention of our MFL curriculum is to develop an interest in and thirst for learning other languages.

We aim to

• Introduce the learning of the French language and the understanding of its culture in enjoyable and stimulating ways.
• Embed the essential skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing.
• Build the children’s ‘culture capital’ so that they are aware of similarities and differences between cultures.
• Lay the foundations for future language learning.

• French is being taught using the new scheme CGP Plus.
• Teachers are more confident teaching French across KS2.
• Children are engaged in lessons and participating orally with enthusiasm.
• Communication with a French school is being researched by MFL lead to open up the world for the children.
• Topics covered are relevant to the children’s experiences and useful for their future.
