"GETTING STARTED "
Guidance to Support the Introduction of a Modern Foreign Language in
Key Stage 2. |
.amended.jpg) |
This pack has been produced by CILT Cymru specifically for schools and LEAs in Wales, and covers the key issues involved when considering introducing or developing a modern foreign language in Key Stage 2. |
 |
The good practice contained in the guidance is based on the experiences over the last 5 years of primary and secondary schools currently participating in the National Pilot with CILT Cymru and the Welsh Assembly Government (2003-09). |
| It is envisaged that clusters of schools will use the guidance as basis for their discussions. Working as a cluster has proved a most successful model and has reaped the most benefits during the course of the Pilot. |
| The guidance appears in 6 sections: |
|
|
|
An
INTRODUCTION to 'Getting Started' -
Foreword - Jane Hutt, Minister for Children, Education, Lifelong Skills.
Introduction - background to the development of the guidance.
Rationale - benefits of early language learning, building on bi-lingualism.

PART
1 - Making it Happen looks at the practical
decisions that need to be discussed as a cluster/LEA such as which
language, year group, model of delivery and so on.
|
| |
|
|
|
PART
2- Good practice is divided in to 2 areas.
It gives practical ways in which the study of a language and
all it entails can really enrich the primary curriculum. It then provides
guidance how to enhance transition arrangements and ways in which
teachers can build on the early start in KS3.

|
PART
3 - The Next Steps provides practical checklists
and cluster action plans to guide your next steps. They are relevant
for primaries, secondaries and LEAs and can be tailored for individual
situations.
