  1. Programmes of Study*:Languages at KS2-an attempt to de-mystify what schools should include wef September 2014 (*tbc after Consultation Stage)

  2. Teaching should focus on enabling pupils to make substantial progress in one of the following languages: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin, Latin or Ancient Greek [but what about Japanese or Polish, and what about Community Languages, and Yiddish?]. • [Schools may choose to study a second language but they must be able to demonstrate a cumulative progression in the first language over the four years in KS2.]

  3. The teaching should provide an appropriate balance of spoken and written language [as suggested and encourages in the KS2 Framework] and should lay the foundations for further foreign language teaching at Key Stage 3[again, as encouraged by the KS2 Framework, and still with definite implications for transition.]

  4. It should enable pupils to understand and communicate ideas, facts and feelings in speech and writing, focused on familiar and routine matters, using their knowledge of phonology[so encouraging an extension of phonetics but in other languages],grammatical structures and vocabulary

  5. The focus of study in modern languages will be on practical communication, while the focus on Latin or Ancient Greek will be to provide a linguistic foundation for learning modern languages and for reading comprehension. [So they might not be carrying on with these in KS3 in which case they will have to start from scratch with a modern language] • Pupils studying ancient languages may take part in simple oral exchanges, [is this realistic or useful?] while discussion of what they read will be conducted in English.
