Progression - Extending language

The Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages sets out a clear structure for progression over four years. Expectations and Outcomes describe what most children should be able to do by the end of the year.

The Learning Objectives for each of the three core strands, Oracy, Literacy and Intercultural Understanding show how to plan the next steps in a cohesive programme of learning. The two cross-cutting strands of Knowledge about Language and Language Learning Strategies underpin the core strands and help children to develop language learning skills for life.

Find your partner

The British Council language assistant sets up a ‘Find your partner’ activity, in which children must find their partner by walking round the room and asking each other questions in German. They combine and reuse previously learnt language.
