Modern Foreign Languages

Czech Proverb: “You live a new life for every language you speak. If you only speak one language, you only live once.”

At Staverton, we are enabling children to respond to speakers of French. In MFL, children develop a greater understanding of the communities which speak the language studied, considering their cultural traditions and aspects of their daily life.

What MFL looks like at Staverton

• Children use their knowledge of phonology and vocabulary in a range of topic areas to understand and respond creatively to spoken and written language.
• Children use their knowledge of grammatical structures in order to write at varying length and speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity.
• Children explore the patterns and sounds of language through songs and rhymes.
• Children broaden their vocabulary and develop their ability to understand new words in a range of topics.
• We use Language Angels scheme of work to support our delivery of our French curriculum.
