At Higher Lane, we are committed to helping every child succeed in Modern Foreign Languages and at Higher Lane we are currently studying Spanish.
We believe learning a new language should be exciting, engaging and accessible for every child. To support this, we use Language Angels, an online programme designed to make language learning fun, interactive and effective. The programme helps children build their confidence step by step while giving them the tools to become successful language learners.
Language Angels is based on three pillars: phonics, vocabulary and grammar.
• Phonics: Children are taught to listen carefully to the sounds of the language, which helps children pronounce Spanish words with increasing accuracy and develop strong speaking skills.
• Vocabulary: Through songs, games and activities, pupils build a wide bank of useful words and phrases they can use in everyday conversations.
• Grammar: As children progress, they begin to understand how sentences are formed, enabling them to create their own sentences and express themselves more independently.
By combining all three of these elements, Language Angels ensures that children do not just memorise words but develop a deeper understanding of how language works. Most importantly, it makes learning enjoyable – helping the children at Higher Lane grow in confidence and develop a lifelong love of languages.
