French
How we teach French
At Callands Community Primary School we believe learning a modern foreign language is an exciting introduction to other cultures and aids pupils’ curiosity whilst deepening their understanding of the world. Our teaching enables pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in French and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing.
The teaching of modern foreign languages provides opportunities for pupils to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking as well as developing problem solving skills.
We use the National Curriculum to plan our Languages curriculum.
