Our school aims to encourage more pupils to choose languages at GCSE level and above by making language learning more purposeful. To achieve this, we need to improve teachers’ confidence in using the target language and incorporate authentic materials into our schemes of work that would trigger pupils’ curiosity and heighten level of interest and attainment, creating a true German or Spanish environment in MFL classrooms. We would like to develop links with other schools around the world, creating contacts in Spain and Germany on which to base school trips/exchanges and raise pupils’ cultural awareness, developing global citizens. We also want to share good practice from other countries, including how to develop literacy and narrow the performance gap between pupil premium students and the rest of the cohort. We want to boost confidence in speaking in foreign languages and help the students, as well as the teachers, speak more spontaneously. We would like to achieve these targets through developing the project over the course of two years involving two members of staff from the MFL Department taking part in training courses in Spain and Germany. (Each teacher to go to Spain the first year and to Germany the following year). We believe that these courses will lead to better teaching and learning of languages in our school. We will be able to acquire better learning strategies and more authentic and relevant resources. In addition to this, we will develop a link with the school in Spain and Germany. We will provide children with opportunities to regularly communicate with their Spanish and German partners through the use of ICT and eTwinning. This will give them a real audience, purpose and context of the communication and allow them to get to know young people of their own age in these countries and realise that they have a lot in common. This will lead to better enjoyment of language learning and more uptake of languages at GCSE and above. This project will increase the language skills and intercultural knowledge of staff leading to more purposeful, relevant learning. There will be better support for children on our pupil premium register to narrow their performance gap and a vast increase in pupils cultural awareness and global citizenship. We will develop school trips and exchanges to Spain and Germany and increase provision including extracurricular clubs and celebration events. We will increase parental/community involvement in school life ad develop better relationships with primary feeder schools. There will be more sharing of good practice and better attainment in literacy.
