MFL Department
Welcome to the Modern Foreign Language Department
Aims of the department.
The languages we teach are French and Spanish. Our philosophy is to help students develop their use of these languages for practical purposes and to help them develop a love of French and Spanish language and civilisation and of language learning in general. We believe in an oral approach, supported by careful study and practice of grammar and vocabulary. We aim to develop the skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing through a wide range of activities including: class oral work, pair work, group work, acting out dialogues, vocabulary learning, oral and written grammar drills, listening to and watching recorded material, songs, playing language games, dictation, using interactive computer resources, memorising talks and writing compositions.
A variety of MFL events are held throughout the year including cultural and exchange visits, theatre productions and quizzes. Every pupil and teacher is encouraged to become involved in the international dimension of the school. We hope that our youngsters leave school with a thirst to learn about other cultures and to meet people from across the globe. With an understanding of their rights and responsibilities as citizens of a global community.
