Learning a foreign language at Cottam
At Cottam Primary School, children learn French throughout
Key Stage 2.
Our aim is to inspire children and stimulate their curiosity in learning a foreign language and finding out about other cultures.
Aims
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.
