At Fordbank, pupils will develop their first language and then have the opportunity to learn about a further two languages in line with the Scottish Government’s language policy.

We aim to help our pupils become confident communicators and culturally aware global citizens through modern languages and enable them to:

• Develop listening, talking, reading, and writing skills in another language.
• Communicate confidently and effectively for a range of purposes and audiences.
• Understand and explore other cultures and perspectives.
• Use language creatively to express ideas, opinions, and feelings.
• Apply language skills across contexts for learning, work, and life.
• Foster lifelong language learning and curiosity about languages.

The teachers plan engaging and effective French and Spanish lessons to:

• Develop learners’ skills in listening, talking, reading, and writing in a modern language.
• Encourage confident, purposeful communication for a variety of audiences.
• Promote understanding of different cultures and global perspectives.
• Support creative and expressive use of language.
• Enable learners to apply language skills across contexts for learning, life, and work.
• Foster lifelong language learning and curiosity.
