Modern Foreign Languages at SMFR - French

The intention of the MFL Curriculum at SMFR is to introduce children to the joys that different cultures, families, faith, societies and people that speak another language can bring to their lives. Speaking and listening in a new language will help the children to flourish in a multicultural world, developing their communicative skills and extend their knowledge of how all language works. The ability to speak and understand another language opens up new areas of the world that were previously less accessible, equipping children for their future.

Subject Aims

The national curriculum for MFL aims to ensure that all pupils:

• understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
• speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
• can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt
• discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied
