French

 

Vision

At Devonshire Primary Academy, it is our vision that all pupils develop a genuine interest in and positive curiosity about foreign languages, finding them enjoyable and stimulating.

We want all our children to experience success through learning French for four years and feeling confident in being able to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and in understanding and responding to its speakers, both in speech and in writing.  We also want to provide opportunities for them to learn new ways of thinking and to read literature in the target language.

We believe that learning languages also supports the development of cultural capital as well as intercultural understanding.

We want to provide the foundation for learning a language in greater depth and for learning further languages.  We want our children to be excited about continuing to learn languages at KS3 and to encourage them to become life-long language learners.

 

How we Teach French at Devonshire Primary Academy

We have chosen to use ‘Language Angels’ to ensure we offer a relevant, broad, vibrant and ambitious foreign languages curriculum that will inspire and excite our pupils using a wide variety of topics and themes.

Children in KS1 are immersed into the language through songs and games.  This helps ensure the sounds of the language are embedded before reading and writing in KS2.

 

How Parents Can Help at Home

To consolidate your child’s learning, children can access the Language Angels songs and games using their personal login details.  Also, talking about your child’s learning will help them to remember more and will give them an opportunity to practice speaking the language.
