Modern Foreign Languages (MFL)
Modern foreign language (MFL) in primary schools refers to the teaching of languages other than English. MFL teaching in primary schools is not designed to make children fluent in a foreign language, but rather to provide them with a solid foundation in language learning that they can build upon in secondary school and beyond.
At Braeburn, children learn French.The four key language learning skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing are taught and all necessary grammar is covered in an age-appropriate way across Key Stage 2. This enables pupils to use and apply their learning in a variety of contexts, laying down solid foundations for future language learning.
We use the Language Angels scheme of work and resources to ensure we offer a relevant, broad, vibrant and ambitious foreign languages curriculum. Children progressively acquire, use and apply a growing bank of vocabulary, language skills and grammatical knowledge organised around age-appropriate topics and themes.
