‘Every child should have the opportunity throughout KS2 to study a foreign language & develop their interest in the culture of other nations. ....By age 11 they should have the opportunity to reach a recognised level of competence … and for that achievement to recognised through a national scheme.... The KS2 language learning programme must … be delivered at least in part in class time.’DfES 2002

The current situation

‘The position of languages in both the primary & secondary curriculum will be considered as part of the Government’s curriculum review. We will not know until the middle of 2012 what the future status of languages will be. The current National Curriculum for modern foreign languages, where they are statutory at key stage 3 but not at key stage 2, will remain in force until 2014. The Government continues to believe that language skills are important to the social and economic future of the country. Given its importance, primary schools that are teaching languages should continue to do so.

Repetition cont...
‘The vital first time a learner encounters the new language must be memorable in order for the new language to stick.Learners need to hear & repeat the language many times if they are to internalise it & produce it independently. The art of repetition is to devise many different ways of letting children hear/say the same thing: good repetition activities should make children want to participate. Invite children to repeat as a class through teacher-led activities, then encourage groups...& last of all individuals.’ (Martin, 2008)
