Using the KS2 Framework - Oracy

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.

Clothes

A British Council Foreign Language assistant is developing children’s listening skills and their knowledge of clothes and colours using the verb llevar. She describes items of clothing shown on the interactive whiteboard and children volunteer to come out to the front to cross them off as they recognise the descriptions. The assistant then asks those children wearing certain items of clothing to put up their hands and asks them to respond to questions about their own dress.
