The Course

Pupils follow the National Curriculum for study of a modern foreign language. During Key Stage 3 pupils develop their skills in listening, operating, reading and writing. They become familiar with the sounds, written form and grammar of the language, and use this knowledge to express themselves in role plays, conversations and writing.

They improve their understanding of the language by listening to people talking about different subjects and by reading a range of texts. They also increase their cultural awareness by learning about communities where the language is spoken.
