Learning a Foreign Language develops a set of transferable skills for understanding and communicating in everyday situations. Learners begin to develop cultural awareness of countries and communities where the language is spoken. Foreign Language learners are encouraged to be:
- confident, using new and familiar structures and vocabulary to communicate with others in everyday situations
- responsible, seeking opportunities to use and develop their language skills
- reflective, considering how to communicate different ideas and attitudes
- innovative, applying language to a variety of situation
- engaged, developing learning strategies which help them to express their ideas and their understanding of other cultures.
“Les limites de ma langue sont les limites de mon monde.” (“The limits of my language are the limits of my world.”)
Ludwig Wittgenstein (Considered by some to be the greatest philosopher of the 20th century)
