french

Our vision when teaching French at Darrick Wood School is to give students an opportunity to learn a new language and enable them to communicate with others (from any French speaking country in the world) and to learn about their life and culture. We aim to show our students that they need to understand other people, not just expect them to understand us. We hope that they will enjoy learning French and become life-long linguists within our global community. Technology, globalisation and ease of international travel are bringing more of the world within our reach and thus languages are of paramount importance. During French lessons, we aim to provide opportunities for students to listen to and speak in another language, building up their confidence subsequently to read and write in the language also.
