  5. In a cross-curricular lesson… It is the subject that is being taught. Language is learned, because it is being used, but it is not being ‘taught’. The child’s view: “I am learning a subject, not a language, but I am improving my French at the same time.” The teacher’s view: “I am teaching a subject, not a language, but the way I have planned the lesson enables the children to use target language to learn.”

  6. Using the language to learn parts of other curriculum subjects Connecting three ways of learning Explicit learning about the language, understanding its systems, memorising, practising … and differentiating them Literacy Subject lessons taught in English

  7. Challenges of new KS2 curriculum - Numbers 1-6 Pupils should be taught to: (achieved by end of Year 6) • listen attentively to spoken language and show understanding by joining in and responding • explore the patterns and sounds of language through songs and rhymes and link the spelling, sound and meaning of words • engage in conversations; ask and answer questions; express opinions and respond to those of others; seek clarification and help • speak in sentences, using familiar vocabulary, phrases and basic language structures • develop accurate pronunciation and intonation so that others understand when they are reading aloud or using familiar words and phrases • present ideas and information orally to a range of audiences

  8. Numbers 7 - 12 • read carefully and show understanding of words, phrases and simple writing • appreciate stories, songs, poems and rhymes in the language • broaden their vocabulary and develop their ability to understand new words that are introduced into familiar written material, including through using a dictionary • write phrases from memory, and adapt these to create new sentences, to express ideas clearly • describe people, places, things and actions orally and in writing • understand basic grammar appropriate to the language being studied, including (where relevant): feminine, masculine and neuter forms and the conjugation of high-frequency verbs; key features and patterns of the language; how to apply these, for instance, to build sentences; and how these differ from or are similar to English.

  9. Pippa’s advice 1: Plan clear learning objectives • Have simple, clear objectives in the content of your unit of work • Use learning objectives you would use in a normal lesson • Don’t ‘dumb it down’ • Keep your eye on your main objectives • Plan progression that is clear (avoid vague subject/language links)

  10. 2: Go slowly • Make the pace slower than a traditional lesson because pupils are learning via a ‘new code’ • Give pupils time to explore the language and the concepts and respond

  11. 3: Don’t just talk from the front • It may be tempting to talk a lot. Avoid this by using an array of methodology. Get the pupils active by using • picture/word cards • pair work • gesture and mime • authentic materials • dictionaries etc • Make sure the pupils get a chance to speak! (even if responses are simple)
