We are linguists
I am a modern linguist; I seek to explore languages. I believe that all things are possible when I learn communication skills that I can use as a gateway to support my understanding of local and international communities. I can celebrate similarities and differences in cultures. As a modern linguist, I strive to express ideas and thoughts in another language. I read, write, listen and speak Spanish as well as celebrating other modern foreign languages to develop myself as a global citizen. I examine how the structure of another language links and compares to my own. As a modern linguist, I am confident, curious and can use my language instinctively in the classroom as a Steward of the Earth.
At St Georges we learn Spanish using Language Angels which was introduced in September 2022. Below is our current curriculum.
Please find the National Curriculum for Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) below.
