MFL Mentoring provides free multilingual teaching resources for bilingual, Welsh and English-medium primary and secondary schools that support delivery of the Curriculum for Wales. Teachers are encouraged to download the resources and adapt them to reflect their schools’ context and the languages spoken in their school and local communities.
The resources provide opportunities for learners to understand and make connections between different languages, to give insights into the culture, people and history of Wales but also the wider world.
The Languages, Literacy and Communication Area of Learning and Experience (Area) addresses fundamental aspects of human communication. It aims to support learning across the whole curriculum and to enable learners to gain knowledge and skills in Welsh, English and international languages as well as in literature…. Learning and experience in this Area aims to enable learners to communicate effectively using Welsh, English and international languages. It aims to encourage learners to transfer what they have learned about how languages work in one language to the learning and using of other languages. This multilingual and plurilingual approach is intended to ignite learners’ curiosity and enthusiasm and provide them with a firm foundation for a lifelong interest in the languages of Wales and the languages of the world; and thus to make them ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives.
