New key stage 2 scheme of work for languages

A new key stage 2 scheme of work with units for French, German and Spanish is now available. Consisting of 24 units for each language and a Teacher's guide, the scheme suggests a way of enabling learners to the meet the objectives of the Key stage 2 framework for languages (DfES, 2005).

Copies of the new scheme of work are available from the QCA Orderline.

This scheme of work illustrates how the QCA non-statutory guidelines for MFL at key stage 2 can be translated into practical plans. There is a Teacher's guide as well as 12 units of work for French, German or Spanish. The suggested sequences of activities help children build on previous knowledge and understanding and develop their skills.

The scheme of work can be ordered from QCA Orderline until the end of 2008 (stocks permitting).

The order reference numbers are:

• French units 1-12, together with the Teacher's guide, QCA/00/607
• German units 1-12, QCA/04/1284
• Spanish units 1-12, QCA/04/1259
