TTB Linguists

As Linguists we are learning about France and its language through singing, listening, speaking and writing.

Our Time to Be Linguists curriculum provides all children with the opportunities to listen to and show understanding of the French language.  Throughout their time at TPA, they will build their knowledge and understanding of the elements of the language through songs, dialogue and performance.  

“To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world” - Chinese Proverb.

Our Time to Be Linguists meets the aims of the national curriculum and ensures that all Tangmere children:

• 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*  
• 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
