Learning another language allows children develop their understanding the world and their place within it. Children are able to acquire understanding and respect for the traditions and experiences of others. At the same time, languages allow children to gain a better understanding of the diversity of God’s world.
As the UK is becoming an increasingly multicultural society, we have a duty to provide our children with an understanding of other cultures and languages. Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures.
A high-quality languages education should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. The teaching should enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing.
It should also provide opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language.
Language teaching should provide the foundation for learning further languages, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries.
Our Modern Foreign Languages subject leader is Miss Wilson.
