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.

Practising numbers

This class is singing the numbers 1-13 in French, to the tune of Frère Jacques. They go on to say the numbers out of order and to play a ‘Show Me’ game using number cards 1-9, first showing the written number and then without seeing it. They can refer to the words written on the interactive whiteboard.
