Modern Foreign Languages

MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES - SPANISH

At Westminster Primary School we believe that the learning of a foreign language in primary school provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for all pupils.

Pupils develop communication and literacy skills that lay the foundation for future language learning. They develop linguistic competence, extend their knowledge of how language works and explore differences and similarities between the foreign language and English. Learning another language raises awareness of the multilingual and multicultural world and introduces an international dimension to pupils’ learning, giving them an insight into their own culture and those of others.

The learning of a foreign language provides a medium for cross-curricular links and for the reinforcement of knowledge, skills and understanding developed in other subjects.
