French Y7-13
Subject Aims
We aim to promote a love of languages through their learning journey by using a wide range of teaching resources and varied pedagogical strategies. We believe that studying a language opens students’ minds and opens doors of opportunity for them.
French at Cardinal Griffin Catholic College enables all pupils to become more confident in the four areas of language learning thus developing their listening, oracy, reading and writing skills and their literacy skills. We support the pupils to develop skills that are transferable across all subjects.
All pupils are encouraged to consider their own British Values whilst also being respectful and curious of the values of other cultures and adding to their cultural capital knowledge and understanding in the process. We want them to be curious about the world around them and enjoy the challenge in their lessons.
At the end of KS3 we would like them to be able to develop a competency which enables them to communicate with and understand a native speaker at a basic level. At the end of KS4 we would like them to develop more expert language skills and to develop the foundations for continuing their language learning journey or for going on to learn other languages if they choose to.
