Modern Foreign Languages

We aspire to deliver a broad and ambitious Modern Foreign Languages curriculum, which is rich in knowledge and skills. It aims to develop independence, promotes curiosity and an appreciation and understanding of our own and others’ diversity, languages, and cultures as global citizens.

Our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum gives pupils the opportunity to: use language skills receptively and productively, for communication in the real world, for practical purposes, for their immediate needs, and to support their interests and beyond.

At MKA, we also work to help to develop the students’ confidence, autonomy, and resilience to access new and unfamiliar language using decoding skills brought about by the explicit teaching of phonics and sound patterns. Pupils reinforce literacy skills and build upon grammar knowledge to apply independently across a wide range of linguistic contexts.

We work to support our students towards becoming a confident, fluent, and spontaneous speaker of the foreign language.
