The importance of
modern foreign languages
Through the study of a foreign language, pupils understand and
appreciate different countries, cultures, people and communities -
and as they do so, begin to think of themselves as citizens of the
world as well as of the United Kingdom. Pupils also learn about the
basic structures of language. They explore the similarities and
differences between the foreign language they are learning and
English or another language, and learn how language can be
manipulated and applied in different ways. Their listening, reading
and memory skills improve, and their speaking and writing become
more accurate. The development of these skills, together with
pupils' knowledge and understanding of the structure of language,
lay the foundations for future study of other languages. |
