2. Tangible Outcomes A perceived problem with languages is the lack of tangible outcomes for pupils. At Northgate we hope to change this perception. External clients commission a project requiring the use of the foreign language.

3. The client-commissioned Launch  Create  Celebrate model is taken from an approach used in Design Technology departments. Applying it to languages makes sense because it too is a subject where application of skills is more important than knowledge of facts.

4. A working model: • Client • Launch • Create • Deliver • Celebrate
