Modern Foreign Languages

At Almeley, we are determined to ensure each KS2 child receives at least good MFL teaching. We chose to teach the children French as this supports their transition into our local high schools that also teach French. Lessons should teach children the skills needed to communicate confidently in French. Children should also be able to express their thoughts and ideas both in speech and writing. The children enjoy learning through video stories, songs and games. The children have the opportunity to learn French vocabulary linked to a range of topics including money, animals and school. Throughout the week, the children are encouraged to use their French learning to answer the register.  

We use Kapow as our main resource for the teaching of MFL lessons. Kapow is a comprehensive and progressive scheme of work. It provides full National Curriculum coverage for MFL with detailed lesson plans that develop skills and knowledge with a wide range of topics for Foundation Stage, KS1 and KS2. Kapow provides in-depth lesson plans, teaching resources, clear and concise success criteria, informative links, descriptive videos and engaging independent tasks in relation to lesson objectives. They provide continuous professional development through confidence-inspiring videos for teachers that provide rich, visual demonstrations to develop subject knowledge.
