Year 10 German
Languages and cultures play a key role in developing personal, community, national and global identities. The reason for teaching Languages is to encourage students to foster an interest in the world beyond their own. By engaging in language learning, students learn that each language has its own way of expressing meaning, and that each has intrinsic value and special significance for its users. We aim to equip our students with the skills they need to connect meaningfully with people in different communities around the world. We want students to see how rewarding this can be as we inspire them to become truly global citizens.
