*Learning a Language is like....Learning a language

Is like doing a jigsaw puzzle

Of a million pieces

With a picture that keeps changing.

It's like getting lost in a foreign city without a map.

It's like playing tennis without a ball,

like being an ant in a field of grasshoppers.

It's like being an acrobat with a broken leg,

An actor without a script,

A carpenter without a saw,

A storyteller without a middle or an end.

 But then gradually

It's like being out in the early morning

with the mists lifting.

It's like a chink of light under a door,

like finding the glove you were looking for,

Catching the train you thought you were going to miss,

Getting an unlooked-for present,

Exchanging a smile.

And then one day it's like riding a bicycle

Very fast downhill.

ProgressionWhat is it / what does it look like in a

Primary Languages lesson?

(A little goes a long way, as with classroom actions/instructions & days of the week, & progression

doesn’t have to be only linguistic.)

CONCLUSIONS• Teaching primary languages doesn’t mean being a ‘perfect

linguist’ with a wealth of grammatical knowledge or linguistic accuracy.

• Learning primary languages isn’t about learning to read, write, say and understand endless ‘groupings’ of nouns or words, or even set phrases in isolation.

• It is about developing skills, confidence, enjoyment, a ‘have-a-go’ approach, skills of deduction, a foundation, a ‘can-do’ attitude, all of which need to be modelled by the teacher/adult.

• Progression: understand what it looks like in a language lesson and across a number of years of language learning ; help young learners to recognise when they achieve this; develop a collaborative approach to recording and reporting it.

• A little language goes a long way – with only a limited choice of words or phrases a lot of progress can be made by learners

• Don’t be afraid to expose learners to a wealth of ‘superfluous’ language (caught v taught)

• Be aware of the smaller steps of progression that are present in each activity

• Consider different approaches to introducing new language. Let the scheme of work empower you, not confine you
