MFL

The MFL curriculum provides an opening to other cultures, deepens students’ understanding of the world and promotes global citizenship. Language-learning takes them out of their comfort zone and fosters new ways of thinking. Students learn to understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of sources, including works of literature. They practise the language in a variety of ways, such as role plays, group work, media presentations and creative simulations. Through regular interaction with our Foreign Language Assistants, students speak with increasing confidence and fluency. GCSE language students are offered the opportunity to visit the target-language country in order to experience the culture first-hand, to practise their language skills and to develop their self-confidence. Ultimately, our students will be able to use their language(s) to communicate with others, whether they are visiting the target-language country for leisure, to study or to work. Learning one foreign language equips them to learn further Languages and gives them an advantage in the labour market.
