Curriculum Modern foreign Languages Overview

Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other

cultures. A high-quality languages education should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen

their understanding of the world. The teaching should enable pupils to express their ideas

and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in

speech and in writing. It should also provide opportunities for them to communicate for

practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original

language. Language teaching should provide the foundation for learning further

languages, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries.
