Modern Foreign Languages

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”

Ludwig Wittgenstein

"A different language is a different version of life" 

Frederico Fellini

Our Purpose of study for MFL

At The Round House, our purpose is to prepare our children to be global citizens.

Why learn another language? 

• It connects to other cultures. 
• It opens your mind. 
• It opens up better job opportunities. 
• It helps grow your brain and keep it healthier. 
• It gives opportunities to enjoy more when travelling. 
• It helps gain more confidence. 

How we study Modern Foreign Languages

At The Round House, we teach MFL to children in KS2. The main foreign language we teach is French with opportunities for our children to experience other languages.

We follow the scheme of learning from 'Language Angels' to teach French to children in KS2. Language Angels is an award-winning, all-areas covering set of resources to help teach languages to primary school children. The scheme works by providing a wide range of teaching units to cover all of the curriculum requirements for Modern Foreign Languages. These units begin with 'Early Language', designed for children with no prior knowledge of French, moving on to 'Intermediate', suitable for Years 4 and 5, and finally ends with 'Progressive', designed for Year 6. Lessons include power-point presentations, games, songs, and differentiated activities to help the children learn a language (in our case, French) and develop life-long skills for language.
