Languages

Intent

Our curriculum is aligned with the JSTC Curriculum intent and is designed to provide students with the tools to engage in a range of linguistic and cultural aspects of a Modern Foreign Language; promoting resilience, communication and problem solving as integral to language learning.

Curriculum Journey

In Modern Foreign Languages we follow a 5 year Curriculum Journey, which is underpinned by 3 main themes : Identity & Culture; Local, International and Global Areas of Interest and Education & Future Plans.

Implementation

Students are given a plethora of opportunities to practise all four linguistic components during their language lessons and beyond: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. The recent focus on Spanish phonics supports listening skills and an understanding of language.

Pupils are also supported with a range of cultural experience, through staff culture, enrichment activities and comparison tasks. Online resources complement both home learning and in class retrieval and retention.

Curriculum Maps

Our Curriculum Maps give pupils, parents and staff an overview of the Knowledge and Skills that will be covered in each module. There are constantly revisited, practised and built upon, using both Spaced Learning and Retrieval Practice to create links to prior learning, or 'schema'.
