Our French curriculum ensures that all pupils develop key language learning skills, as set out by the national curriculum. Pupils will;
-
listen attentively to spoken language and show understanding by joining in and responding
-
explore the patterns and sounds of language through songs and rhymes and link the spelling, sound and meaning of words
-
engage in conversations; ask and answer questions; express opinions and respond to those of others; seek clarification and help
-
speak in sentences, using familiar vocabulary, phrases and basic language structures
-
develop accurate pronunciation and intonation so that others understand when they are reading aloud or using familiar words and phrases
-
present ideas and information orally to a range of audiences
-
read carefully and show understanding of words, phrases and simple writing
-
appreciate stories, songs, poems and rhymes in the language
-
broaden their vocabulary and develop their ability to understand new words that are introduced into familiar written material
-
write phrases from memory, and adapt these to create new sentences, to express ideas clearly
-
describe people, places, things and actions orally and in writing.
In addition, they will develop an interest in and an awareness of cultural differences.
