Modern Foreign Languages
FRENCH – The French language is spoken in over 29 countries of the world.
Vision for French (Intent)
Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. Although a language, such as French, is governed by rules, the teaching and learning of it offers immense scope for originality. Language teaching is one of those very open and flexible areas where creative activities can be easily embedded in both the teaching activities as well as in the language curriculum. Our high-quality languages education fosters pupils’ curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world. The teaching enables pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It also provides opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes and learn new ways of thinking.
At ECSTG our curriculum seeks to provide opportunities not only for language acquisition but also for our pupils to understand how a language differs across a range of cultures, in particular those surrounding our pupils. Therefore, encouraging pupils to explore and celebrate cultural differences and compare Christian values to that of others. Building on this knowledge, we want to equip pupils with a solid foundation of French, providing the underpinning for successful future language learning.
