French


French at Sevenoaks Academy is challenging, and interactive allowing students to become resilient, independent and confident communicators. These skills are definitely needed throughout school life and beyond. Our aim in teaching French at Sevenoaks is to introduce students to language acquiring skills that they can apply in a variety of situations. In class, we like to spark curiosity and encourage students to ask questions.

 

The development of confidence is key as we want our students to speak in French spontaneously and enjoy conversing in the language. Students are challenged from the minute they walk in the classroom as our teachers will use target language as much as possible to immerse them in a full French speaking and listening experience. Students are encouraged to speak as much French as possible and interact with the teacher and each other in the target language.

 

French at Sevenoaks fully prepares students for high school and equips them with the skills to become lifelong language learners.
