The Languages curriculum encourages students to explore and appreciate the diversity of global languages and cultures. It provides opportunities for students to develop proficiency in languages other than English through engaging activities that encompass listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Whether learning a heritage language, a modern foreign language, or a classical language, students are encouraged to understand and appreciate linguistic nuances and cultural contexts.
The curriculum emphasises the importance of communication as a bridge between cultures and peoples. Through language learning, students not only acquire practical language skills but also gain insights into different cultural perspectives, traditions, and practices. This fosters empathy, respect for diversity, and a broader understanding of global interconnectedness.
