| Why is French important? | ||
| Our French curriculum provides pupils not only with an introduction to a modern language, but also offers an insight into cultures beyond one’s own, and, in so doing, broadens both experiences and aspirations. Through the knowledge pupils gain of the language and culture of France, and French speaking nations, pupils are granted new perspectives on the world, and are encouraged to understand cultures – both one’s own, and those beyond one’s own.
Pupils are equipped with both phonetic and grammatical knowledge, and vocabulary, to be able to formulate French sentences using common, frequently used vocabulary, key phrases and basic French sentence structures. This knowledge enables pupils to be able express themselves both orally, and in writing, and, as confident users of French, to be able to share thoughts and ideas in short, reciprocal exchanges. |
