Key Stage 2: Foreign LanguageTeaching may be of any modern or ancient foreign

language and should focus on enabling pupils to

make substantial progress in one language. The

teaching should provide an appropriate balance of

spoken and written language and should lay the

foundations for further foreign language teaching at

key stage 3. It should enable pupils to understand

and communicate ideas, facts and feelings in speech

and writing, focused on familiar and routine matters,

using their knowledge of phonology, grammatical

structures and vocabulary.National Curriculum for England Languages Programme of

The focus of study in modern languages will be

on practical communication. If an ancient

language is chosen, the focus will be to provide

a linguistic foundation for reading

comprehension and an appreciation of classical

civilisation. Pupils studying ancient languages

may take part in simple oral exchanges, while

discussion of what they read will be conducted

in English. A linguistic foundation in ancient

languages may support the study of modern

languages at key stage 3.National Curriculum for England Languages Programme of
