Modern Foreign Languages
In Marlborough Primary School, we teach a foreign language (French) as part of our school curriculum. We believe that children really enjoy learning to speak another language and the earlier a child is exposed to a foreign language, the faster they acquire language in question. Learning a foreign language will help develop pupils' confidence at speaking aloud and will also help them to understand more about the English language. Through learning a new language, it can help children understand their own culture/s and those of others.
Learning French
Our aims are:
- To foster an interest in learning other languages.
- To introduce young children to another language in a way that is enjoyable and fun.
- To make young children aware that language
- has structure, and that the structure
- differs from one language to another.
- To help children develop their awareness of cultural and differences in other countries.
- To develop their speaking and listening skills.
As part of lessons we may:
Play games
Read well known stories in French
Take part in role-play and drama
Learn and perform songs
Write postcards
