Modern Foreign Languages

Our Key Stage 3 students have now all completed their first set of assessments for the four Criterion. We are pleased with the great amount of resilience that they displayed during their Criterion C / speaking. 

Year 7s will study next 'Local and International Places', they will learn how to talk about different places in your town, places in other countries, and famous world locations in the language that they are studying.

Year 8 will study 'Lifestyles and healthy lifestyles'. It will help them learn how to talk about sports, being healthy, and their diet in the language they are studying. It also helps you grow as an IB learner by building communication skills, cultural awareness, and responsible decision-making.

In Year 9 MFL, the topic “Town and Local Area” helps students develop more detailed and complex language to describe where they live, what there is to do, and how different places compare. They first learned this topic in Year 7, but because MFL follows a spiral curriculum, they now revisit it at a higher level, using richer vocabulary, more advanced grammar (such as multiple tenses, comparatives, and modal verbs), and more developed opinions with reasons.
