Modern Foreign Languages

 Modern foreign language (MFL) curriculum

The intention of the Spanish curriculum at Sampford Peverell is that the children are taught to develop an interest in learning other languages in a way that is enjoyable and stimulating. During this development, the children will be able to enhance their communication skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing, which then inlays the foundations for further language learning in the future. In lessons, the children will grasp a new and broader prospective on the world, encouraging them to understand our own British Values and those of other countries too.

We use Language Angels to teach Spanish as it offers ‘a step-by-step approach’. Its ‘pillars’ of language learning (phonics, grammar and vocabulary) are all built into the scheme and, as pupils progress through the units and teaching types, previous language is recycled, revisited and consolidated.
