At St Michaels, our intent is to spark an interest and love in all of our children to pursue a foreign language in the future. This is achieved by introducing the children to our chosen MFL, French, which then continues to be taught in both feeder middle schools.
French is taught in all KS2 classes in a weekly lesson, following the PlanIt Scheme. During lessons each child will be given the opportunity and encouraged to:
• ask and answer questions;
• use correct pronunciation and intonation;
• memorise words;
• interpret meaning;
• understand basic grammar;
• work in pairs and groups, and communicate in French;
• look at life in France/French Culture.
