Welcome to the Modern Languages Department
In the Modern Languages Department pupils engage in a wide range of activities which develop and enhance their language and communication skills. Through the use of active learning techniques and games pupils will develop confidence in using the target language as they are introduced to a variety of French/Spanish vocabulary and phrases.
S1 to S3 Curriculum
Pupils will develop the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in French/Spanish and will be provided with a range of experiences that allow for individual progress. The focus of lessons will mainly be on vocabulary recognition. Listening and speaking will be the main areas developed, using lots of visuals and Boardmaker symbols to aid comprehension. Some pupils will be able to read and recognise the words in French/Spanish and some will be able to write or ‘overwrite’ the French/Spanish words. ICT and songs will be used to aid comprehension and engage learners. When appropriate Makaton signing will be used.
