MFL - Spanish

"To foster pupils’ curiosity and love of learning languages and discover and understand new  cultures globally, whilst enriching their command of English and value their home languages."

Intent 

The intention of the Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) curriculum at Chestnuts Primary School, is that  children are taught to develop an interest in leaning other languages in a way that is fun and  exciting. We encourage children’s confidence and curiosity about different languages. The MFL  planning is carried out in order to create links with the cultural differences of other countries,  including our children’s home countries, allowing them to explore links between their own languages  and those taught. We strive to embed the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing necessary  to enable children to use and apply other languages in a variety of contexts and lay the foundations  for future language learning. We follow the National Curriculum for MFL.

Our MFL curriculum is designed to progressively develop children’s skills in languages through weekly  taught lessons. Children progressively acquire, use and apply a growing bank of vocabulary  organised around topics. We follow the ‘LanguageAngels’ scheme of work to ensure coverage and  progression across the school.
