PRIMARY LANGUAGE LEARNING AND LITERACY (INTRODUCTION)
There may be the feeling that time and effort given to primary MFL will deflect some primary schools from their drive to raise standards in English literacy. Based on recent research, this training focuses on a new design of the QCA schemes of work which aims to develop children’s English Literacy skills, as set out in the new National Curriculum, through a robust programme of foreign language learning.

GEARING UP FOR READING AND WRITING
Developing children’s foreign language reading and writing skills often evokes anxiety for teachers but coordinators do need to consider how to address the sharper focus on MFL reading and writing in the new National Curriculum. This training looks at how much can be achieved with a range of easily replicable classroom activities.

PROGRESSION AND ASSESSMENT (INTRODUCTION)
Planning for progression and then recognising it when it occurs is a challenging aspect of primary MFL particularly because there are many ways in which children progress in language learning. This training considers how to plan for progression across Key Stage 2 and investigates different approaches to formative and self-assessment.

STORYTELLING
‘Pupils should be taught to: listen attentively to spoken language and show understanding by joining in and responding; appreciate stories, songs, poems and rhymes in the language.’ (The National Curriculum in England, DfE, 2013) Exploring authentic stories in depth, this training exploits the rich context of storytelling for introducing and practising language. The related classroom activities can easily be adapted for different texts. The training is currently available in French.
