Key Stage 3 Modern Foreign Languages explore the three pillars for progression: ‘To improve learners’ understanding and production of language, a steady development in understanding of phonics, vocabulary, grammar and their interplay.’ 

Throughout the first years, pupils will be supported to master the basics to then be able to progress to build on the process of language learning.
