Modern foreign languages - Ara

Modern Foreign Languages Vision 

At Hujjat Primary School, we aim to provide a learning environment where our children will grow to love and learn the Arabic language in an exciting and innovating way. With our enhanced curriculum, students will be taught reading, writing, and speaking the Arabic language. We are a school dedicated to providing children with the necessary foundation to learn Arabic, whether they speak the language or not.  

How we learn Arabic 

Arabic is taught discretely in EYFS and Key Stage 1, enabling children to have a phonetical awareness of the different Arabic letters and sounds through art and creative play. In Key Stage 2 children acquire language skills through a more formal approach and by specialist teaching. 

How we deliver the Curriculum  

Learning a modern foreign language is not statutory in EYFS and Key Stage 1, yet we teach Arabic so children become familiarised with different letters and sounds in readiness to learn a language at Key Stage 2. 

At Key Stage 2, we have weekly Arabic lessons, taught by specialist teachers. Teachers assess children’s learning by addressing misconceptions, developing vocabulary and carrying out regular speaking and listening checks.
