Modern Foreign Languages
A vision of: “Inspiring and engaging students to foster a sense of curiosity, enthusiasm and resilience to
become skilled and confident modern linguists with a broadening cultural awareness and global
outlook”.
The MFL Department at Kings strive to:
- Create and develop skilled and confident modern linguists who have broad horizons and a
global outlook through a fostering of curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world from a
young age. - Instil a sense of cultural awareness and the feeling that learning a foreign language is a lifelong
skill which can help to develop our students into global citizens of the 21st Century who are open
and adaptable to new experiences. - Provide students with the skills to become enthusiastic, resilient and independent learners
whose levels of literacy allow them to interact with others in real-life situations and express
their ideas and thoughts in another language and understand and respond to native speakers,
both in speech and writing. - Provide opportunities for students to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of
thinking and eventually to appreciate literature, cinema and film in the original language. - Establish a learning environment that encourages students to feel confident about taking risks
and developing informed opinions about the world around them, their rights and the
importance of respect for others. - Encourage students to reflect on and enhance their skills, ask questions and enjoy a challenge.
- Provide a foundation and a love for learning further languages, inspiring the ambition to study,
travel and work abroad, thereby enhancing our students’ employability skills and personal
fulfilment.
