Our Modern Languages Dept
Learning other languages enables children and young people to make connections with different people and
their cultures and to play a fuller part as global citizens.
Learning through the languages area of the curriculum enables children and young people to:
• develop their ability to communicate their thoughts and feelings and respond to those of other people
• develop the high level of skills in listening, talking, reading and writing which are essential for
learning, work and life
• use different media effectively for learning and communication
• develop a secure understanding of how language works, and use language well to communicate
ideas and information in English and other languages
• exercise their intellectual curiosity by questioning and developing their understanding, and use
creative and critical thinking to synthesise ideas and arguments
• enhance their enjoyment and their understanding of their own and other cultures through literature
and other forms of language
• develop competence in different languages so that they can understand and communicate including,
for some, in work settings.
