Languages Progression Overview
Slinsby C P School follows the agreed scheme of work for French drawn up by North Yorkshire LEA. Every class receives a French lesson each week. There are opportunities to learn basic Italian and German.
Intent:
- Provide children with linguistic opportunities to prepare them for secondary school and to provide the foundation for learning further languages
- To instil an appreciation of other cultures
- To increase the children’s knowledge of other cultures and ways of life
- To be able to respond in another language on a basic level
Implementation:
- Weekly opportunities to practice speaking and writing, following a progressive scheme of work developed by NYCC.
- Working with the families of children for whom English is a second language where possible.
- Children encouraged to answer the register in a language of their choice.
Impact:
- As they move through the school children speak with increasing confidence and fluency.
- Children’s knowledge of other cultures is upskilled.
- Stereotyping is addressed through investigation and discussion of other cultures.
