KS3 Languages (French and Spanish) curriculum

Speaking

The Languages Scheme of Work includes interactive speaking activities and opportunities for students to engage in oral discussions, presentations, and roll play. These activities promote the development of verbal communication skills and help students express their ideas effectively.

Listening

The Languages Scheme of Work incorporates various listening activities, such as audio clips, podcasts, teacher led conversations and recorded readings. These activities require students to actively listen, comprehend, and respond appropriately. By engaging in these activities, students develop their listening skills, including comprehension, inference, and critical thinking.

Literacy

The Languages Scheme of Work provides a range of literacy activities that focus on reading, writing, and comprehension. These activities include guided reading exercises, comprehension questions, vocabulary building, grammar exercises, and writing tasks. By completing these activities, students enhance their reading and writing abilities, expand their vocabulary, improve grammar and punctuation skills, and develop a deeper understanding of various literary texts.

Numeracy

The Languages Scheme of Work incorporates numeracy skills in various ways to enhance students’ understanding and analysis of texts. Students have the opportunity to learn different numbers and data from reading materials, as well as diagrams for text comparison. The evidence of these numeracy skills can be found in completed visual representations and feedback from tutors. By integrating numeracy skills into the curriculum, TLC LIVE ensures students develop both their language and data analysis abilities, preparing them for real-world applications.
