Modern Foreign Languages
Languages stimulate students’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of different countries, people, culture, history, literature and arts. Through consistent exposure to a variety of topics, languages challenge learners to consider their own identity and place in the world and to appreciate and empathise with other customs, traditions and cultures.
Our curriculum and study of languages at HCACP aim for our students to be:
Effective communicators: Our curriculum strives to equip students with the confidence, vocabulary and the grammatical foundations that allow them to express their ideas and opinions. Access to trips and a variety of activities in lessons also provide students with an opportunity to develop their fluency, spontaneity and inter-cultural skills.
Enquiring linguists: The range of topics and activities in the curriculum encourages students to seek new information and engage with the language across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Rounded individuals: Curriculum time devoted to learning about customs, traditions, and culture support students in becoming well-rounded individuals who are ready for lifelong language learning and entry into a global, more co-operative and more peaceful world.
