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.

Kandinsky shapes

Children are studying the painter Kandinsky in art. This school employs a French specialist who works with the class teacher to teach the class the art syllabus through the medium of French. Here children are revising geometric shapes through the medium of French. The class teacher takes part, asking children to listen and find the correct shapes. Children answer questions in French about the size and colours of the shapes, using adjectives and agreements correctly.
