Using the KS2 Framework - Language learning
strategies
The Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages sets out the rationale
for language learning in primary schools and defines the skills,
knowledge and understanding that children should develop as they
begin their language learning apprenticeship.
The Framework is based on sound principles of primary pedagogy.
It sets out learning objectives across five strands, Oracy,
Literacy, Intercultural Understanding, Knowledge about Language and
Language Learning Strategies. It is inclusive and for all children.
It recognises that language is central to the development of
individual identity and that education in language and culture
plays a vital part in shaping the future of our world
community.

There are 3 parts to this short extract:
1. A visiting teacher asks children to listen to nouns for
animals and repeat the words while clapping out the syllables in
the words.
2. Children repeat the words while performing actions to
represent the animals.
3. Children listen for the words and identify the animals by
numbers next to pictures on the whiteboard.
