Modern Foreign Language
Our aim at Burlington Junior School is to enable pupils to enjoy enrichment experiences, develop rich vocabulary and to respect diversity and individuality.
The teaching of Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) is an important part of this. We aim to inspire curiosity and a love of languages that pupils will strengthen and develop as they progress through our school.
Pupils should be able to extend their knowledge of how language works and explore the differences between how the French and English languages are structured.
