The Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages

In October 2005 the Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages was launched. This document is intended to be a practical reference tool for planning, teaching and monitoring the learning process. The Framework will be of use to:

• Headteachers
• MFL subject leaders
• Class Teachers
• TAs
• Secondary schools preparing for transition
• Teacher trainers
• Curriculum planners

You can download the KS2 Framework for Languages (ref: DFES 1721 2005) or order free copies online at:

• www.teachernet.gov.uk/publications or phone 0845 60 222 60 or e-mail dfes@prolog.uk.com

There will be a number of opportunities to attend training on using the Framework both at HDC and school based workshops in summer 2006. Flyers will be sent to schools.
