Kilham Church Of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Modern Foreign Languages - Spanish
At KilhamCE (VC) Primary School we believe that Modern Foreign Languages teaching should stimulate children’s interest in
other cultures and deepen their understanding of the world. The teaching should enable children to express their ideas and
thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to speakers, both in speech and in writing.
We believe that learning a foreign language provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for our pupils. It
helps them to develop communication skills including key skills of speaking and listening and extends their knowledge of how
language works. Learning a new language gives children a new perspective of the world, encouraging them to understand their own cultures and those of others.

Intent We believe that Modern Foreign Languages teaching should stimulate children’s interest in other cultures and deepen their understanding of the world. The teaching should enable children to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to speakers, both in speech and in writing. In line with the national curriculum 2014, the curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils: · understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources · speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation · can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt |
discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied.
