Modern Foreign Languages
Modern Foreign Languages at Blessed Robert Johnson:
The MFL team at Blessed Robert Johnson is committed to providing a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience for all our students. Our aim is to promote the status of language learning throughout the College and to encourage young people and parents to recognize the valuable cross-curricular and life skills which foreign languages bring. We set and work towards achievable yet challenging learning objectives in order to provide our students with a useful level of linguistic competence. We have high expectations of our pupils and we celebrate success at all levels.
Linguistic skills and confidence are the keys to becoming successful communicators. Through learning French or Spanish at BRJ our pupils build on their literacy skills in English and improve their ability to communicate their thoughts and ideas. Alongside linguistic competence we teach our students about other cultures; pupils are encouraged to reflect on their own culture and language and compare it with that of other countries. The four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing are developed during language lessons and pupils are often required to work in pairs or groups as well as independently. As pupils progress in their language acquisition they are increasingly able to cope with a variety of situations in which they can communicate with speakers of French or Spanish. The MFL team works to develop pupil confidence and to prepare our students to become responsible and tolerant citizens in a multi-lingual world.
