The MFL department is made up of a team of experienced teachers of French and Spanish. We aim to inspire in our pupils a passion for travel and the exploration of God’s earth. We want them to explore, travel and visit the world beyond St Monica’s. We want our students to feel the excitement of speaking a different language and communicating with people around the world.
Please see below to learn more about the MFL curriculum at St Monica’s.
Together, in MFL, our intention is to make language learning a purposeful, inspirational and enjoyable experience. This is achieved by creating confident linguists who are competent at communicating effectively in the real world and have an understanding that the three pillars of language learning; phonics, grammar and vocabulary, will equip them with the linguistic building blocks to study other languages in the future, thus raising aspirations to compete for jobs in the international marketplace. We strive to encourage pupils to take an active interest in other cultures and nurture a deepening curiosity about how others live, breaking down barriers between different cultures and inspiring pupils to be committed global citizens of the world.
Pupils in MFL will study Spanish in class. There is the option of a French club at lunchtimes.
