Year 7 | Year 8 | Year 9 | KS4 French | KS4 Spanish

LANGUAGES Year 7 - FRENCH & SPANISH

All year 7 pupils will study French. By Christmas Year 7 will have been monitored and arranged into ability sets.

From the beginning, the skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing are developed. Pupils learn how to communicate simply in French on the subjects of themselves, families, pets, leisure time and towns and villages. They learn to express their likes and dislikes; to spell and to count in French; to talk about other countries and nationalities and to order food and drinks in a restaurant or café.

Both languages use ICT as a reinforcement of lessons.
The courses give an insight into these foreign countries and encourage pupils to be aware of cultural differences.

The course used is: Metro 1 for French
Homework is regularly set. A typical homework task would be expected to take about half an hour and might be a written homework in exercise books or on a worksheet; a learning or revision homework or a task in preparation for a following lesson.

At the end of each unit of work there are unit tests in each of the four skills, and the marks achieved will be entered in your child's book.

There will be two homeworks a week of half an hour in both languages.
