Across schools in Wales there is a strong focus on how pupils
can be supported in their move from primary to secondary school.
Traditionally MFL has been considered a ‘new’ subject
in Key Stage 3. For some schools now however, pupils arrive having
had one or more years of MFL teaching in their primary school.
“Crossing Bridges” supports
closer collaboration between schools and highlights good practice.
It is relevant to all schools, regardless of whether
MFL is taught in the primary school. It aims to help all Key Stage
2 teachers support their pupils’ confident progress into secondary
language learning and to help all Key Stage 3 MFL teachers build
on their pupils’ prior language experience, whatever the language.
ACCAC worked closely with CILT Cymru on the project and many of
the Key Stage 2 MFL pilot schools have provided excellent case study
material.
