‘No one left out, no one left behind.’
1 Thessalonians
- To foster a curiosity and deepen understanding about other languages and cultures.
- To communicate in speech and writing to express ideas and for practical purposes.
- To lay the foundations for learning further languages in the future.
Compassionate
Children learn about different cultures and their customs and beliefs by considering ‘What is it like to live where this language is spoken? What is different, what is similar?
Encouraging
Children become emboldened to ‘have a go’ at communicating words and phrases in a different language.
Respectful
Learning another language opens minds to different sounds and word patterns. Similarities with and differences to other languages are explored.
