At Moorlands Primary School, our overall vision for Modern Foreign Languages is to enrich learning for our KS2 learners, through:

• Promoting positive attitudes towards language learning
• Increasing children’s linguistic competence through weekly timetabled MFL sessions
• Including a range of learning activities
• Enabling children to have a ‘growth mind set’ relating to the learning of a language
• Fostering an interest and curiosity in language learning by introducing children to other languages in a way that is enjoyable and accessible to all pupils;
• Supporting oracy and literacy, and in particular developing speaking and listening skills;
• Helping children develop their awareness of cultural similarities and differences
• Exploiting cultural links and experiences when opportunities arise
• Laying the foundations for future language study by pupils

Our objective at Moorlands Primary School is to develop a curiosity and passion for the subject, as well as an understanding and acceptance of the importance of all languages.

We are committed to creating an enjoyable and engaging experience of language learning for all children, where children are able to use their language skills and knowledge, to participate in exciting experiences both in their childhood and throughout their lives. We want language learning to inspire self confidence and curiosity in our children through development of a fun and safe learning environment.
