At Benedict Academy, the intent of our MFL curriculum is to progressively develop pupils’ phonics, vocabulary and grammar knowledge, so that children can use this to produce more complex language – both spoken and written.
By the end of year 6 at Benedict, pupils will be able to communicate through basic spoken and written French. In addition, children have been exposed to, and will have recounted some elements of the French culture, and will be aware of similarities and differences between England and our neighbouring country. We hope that our French curriculum lays for foundation for future language learning, and that children are prepared to specialise in a language at secondary school level.
As with English, we explicitly teach specific sound and spelling correspondances in French, and use our Knowledge Organisers as vocabulary banks to aid children until they can retrieve with fluency.
