The context: ‘Entitlement’“Every child should have the opportunity throughout Key Stage 2 to study a foreign language and develop their interest in the culture of other nations. They should have access to high quality teaching and learning opportunities making use of native speakers and e-learning. By age 11 they should have the opportunity to reach a recognised level of competence on the Common European Framework and for that achievement to be recognised through a national scheme.”(National Languages Strategy)

Objectives
• To build on the skills set of the primary class teacher and highlight common points between early language pedagogy and the delivery of primary languages.
• To demonstrate how literacy and MFL co-ordinators can support each other by showing what links can be made to enhance both curriculums and motivate learners.

So why now?
• Key recommendations in Primary Languages in past year :
• Dearing’s review of MFL : aim to embed MFL in primary curriculum.
• Jim Rose’s review of the Primary Curriculum : Primary Languages to be statutory by 2011, aim for a new literacy where English, Communications and MFL are encompassed under one area of learning and key primary documents are to be aligned.
