The Modern Language Department

 

In the Modern Language Department, our commitment is to deliver the best education in the skills of foreign language speaking, listening, reading and writing to our young people. We endeavour to meet the needs of every pupil; therefore our materials are developed for different stages and levels of attainment. We encourage independent learning through teaching the skills of listening, reading and writing and especially in students’ learning of the related foreign language vocabulary. We promote group work skills and class discussion in speaking tasks. We collaborate with other departments within the school to ensure that our students have an integrated, meaningful learning experience in a supportive, positive learning environment.
