French
At JCSC our intention reflects the MFL National Curriculum’s belief that we can liberate our students from insularity and provide an opening to other cultures. Therefore, we intend to deliver an enjoyable language education that will foster our students’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Our aim is to enable them to express their ideas and thoughts in French orally, whilst understanding and responding to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. We strive to give them opportunities to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read literature in the original language. We hope that, by learning French, our students will develop an awareness of cultural differences in other countries to our own and be inspired and learn more languages, whether it be for personal or professional purposes.
Examples of on-going assessment and feedback in lessons
- Verbal feedback by the teacher to the whole class which students act on in the lesson; this is often evidenced using green pen.
- Pupils self-assess or peer-assess work with a clear framework guiding them through this.
- Teachers circulate to give ’LIVE’ and immediate feedback as pupils are working independently
- Pupils may complete mini quizzes or retrieval r activities that revisit prior learning and receive verbal feedback
- Use of tailored questioning by the teacher
