Children in classroom

Making explicit links between subjects offers opportunities for children to revisit, reinforce and enrich their learning, gaining a deeper understanding of concepts and skills. The most obvious link with MFL is literacy: in teaching a modern language, literacy skills will be improved, as the two are closely linked. Four of the five MFL strands relate directly to literacy: Oracy, Literacy, Knowledge About Language and Language Learning Strategies.
