Welcome to the Faculty of Modern Languages!

Why should I study a language?

Learning a language can be fun and rewarding, and they are one of the top skills that set you apart from the crowd when applying for jobs of all types. Recent studies by the British Council have found that the majority of adults regret not taking advantage of the opportunity to learn languages in school. Language courses were also some of the most studied online courses during lockdown - don't miss the opportunity to study them for free in school!

Which skills will I develop in Modern Languages?

In Modern Languages, you will work on 4 key skills: Reading, Writing, Listening and Talking. You will also gain other valuable transferrable skills including communication, resilience, patience and confidence. You will also build on your knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, while enhancing your awareness and appreciation of other cultures. There are 4 contexts covered in Modern Languages in the Senior Phase: Society, Culture, Learning and Employability. All of the work that we complete in class and all assessments are based around these 4 contexts.
