Curriculum Map – MFL

‘Be the difference’
We are confident communicators in a global classroom

In the first term of year 7, we aim to revise and retrieve the key basic structures, ensuring that all students are on a level playing field following on from primary school.
By Year 11, it is assumed that students who will sit Higher tier will have a vocabulary of approx. 1700 words and Foundation Tier approx. 1200 words. This is taught explicitly and assessed weekly in vocabulary tests from the Sentence builders issued each module. Students will be expected to demonstrate a range of skills each lesson, including listening, reading, writing and speaking, translation and dictation in line with the new GCSE reforms.
