What does MFL look like at Kingfisher?
At Kingfisher CE Academy, we teach French as our chosen Modern Foreign Language.
When teaching French, there is a lot of oral practice and repetition to enable the children to develop their long term memory of building up the new knowledge and vocabulary of this new language.
We follow Language Angels which uses the 4 strands of communication: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Children will have many opportunities to talk with their peers and practice what new vocabulary they have been taught and will revisit this in later topics. The children will become engaged in conversations which will develop as they go up through the school. After lots of oral practice, our children will have opportunities to apply what they have learnt to fun written activities such as posters and signs.
