QCDA Schemes of Work for Key Stage 2 languages

The QCDA Schemes of Work have been developed for Key Stage 2 pupils of all ages to enable them to achieve the learning objectives in each of Key Stage 2 Framework for languages' five strands. These are comprehensive and flexible materials intended for schools and teachers to adapt for their own purposes.

The schemes are available in French, German and Spanish.

They comprise a total of 24 units: all units are now complete. Units 13-24, orginally originally published electronically in draft form, have now been finalised after extensive trialling in schools. A Teacher's guide accompanies the schemes.

The current 'new' schemes were published in July 2007 and replace previous versions first published in 2000.

Download and order

All 24 Units for each language can be downloaded in pdf or rtf format free of charge from the DCSF Standards website:

Schools can order the complete set of units for one, two or all three languages at QCDA Orderline.

Schools that received a free copy of units 1-12 in 2007 in any of the languages can order units 13-24 to complete their set and may, in addition, order a complete set of units in one or both of the other languages.

To place an order you will need a QCDA Orderline user name and password. Most schools already have these, but if not, there is an email address and a phone number on the website to contact for help.
