Curriculum plan 2020-21

1. Curriculum Principles

Coherence and flexibilityLanguage learning is inherently cumulative. In a low exposure classroom setting, learning is most effective when

language knowledge is logically sequenced and frequently revisited. For that reason, we foreground coherence. This

then allows pupils to use their core knowledge flexibly when they need to.

Language knowledgeWe set out to teach and practise three main bodies of knowledge that research indicates are fundamental to

progress for beginner language learners in a classroom setting. These are: phonics (sound-writing relations),

vocabulary, and grammar.

Knowledge organisationWe set out this knowledge clearly, with an explicit spine of grammar and sets of high-frequency vocabulary.

Phonics feature in every lesson as regular and frequent short bursts of practice.

2 Version 2.0, 24 August 2020 Oak National Academy

Knowledge selectionIn years 7 and 8, the aim is to avoid introducing too much language too fast, in line with the MFL Pedagogy Review,

a report published by the Teaching Schools Council (2016), which drew on research into language learning and

teaching and on the knowledge and experience of a wide range of experienced practitioners. Over time, teaching

includes a range of grammar features on nouns, verbs, and adjectives (for persons, number, gender, subjects, tenses,

and key syntax). Vocabulary selection is based on word frequency; sets of words from different parts of speech, with

a special emphasis on the most common verbs, allow students to manipulate verbs and regularly create their own

sentences in speech and writing.

The year 9 languages curriculum is designed to be used flexibly and to meet a range of pupil needs. Its grammar

spine is a condensed version of the essential grammar required to start current GCSE courses. For that reason,

teachers may want to make use of Y9 material to fill knowledge gaps or provide additional reinforcement to

students at KS4, as well as those in Y9.

In years 10 and 11, the three core knowledge strands (phonics, vocabulary, grammar) are retained, though the

requirements of external examination bring topic content closer to the fore. Nevertheless, each lesson contains

opportunities to practise the sound-writing relationship, revisit high-frequency vocabulary and practise paying close

attention to the meaning and form of grammar structures.

Inclusion and ambitionGiven the mixed picture of primary FL provision and transition arrangements, we seek to achieve maximum

inclusivity by assuming little prior knowledge on arrival in Y7. However, foregrounding knowledge of phonics,


grammar and vocabulary naturally de-emphasises traditional thematic topics often taught in primary settings, and

so our lessons provide new learning opportunities to challenge most pupils on arrival at secondary school.

Pupil engagementCarefully designed input (listening and reading) activities compel students to pay close attention to the meaning

and form of the new language. Each week practice extends to production, which ensures that pupils have to actively

recall and manipulate language to communicate where there is a genuine ‘information gap’ (where information

must be successfully expressed and understood by the learner).

Motivation through learningTeaching is carefully planned to compel thinking, thinking drives learning, and success in learning is motivational.

A curriculum of qualityWe support curriculum planning with resources that emphasise transparent explanations and abundant practice,

building in frequent feedback to maximise confidence and success. Regular and frequent revisiting of knowledge is

explicit and systematically integrated into planning.

Planning in years 7 and 8 is in line with the Review of MFL Pedagogy and NCELP (National Centre for Excellence for

Language Pedagogy). In years 9, 10 and 11, the planning prepares for current GCSE content and examinations, which

builds on the core grammar and high-frequency vocabulary outlined in the programmes of study for Key Stages 2

and 3.

Year 9

Y9 content, selected on the basis of word frequency, core grammar and phonics ensure that Y9 lessons have substantial value, both as standalone learning opportunities and as preparation for progression to the KS4 curriculum. The Y9 curriculum could also be used as an ab initio introduction year to a new, second language that pupils might then take for GCSE.
