Learning and experience in Language, Literacy and Communication, aims to enable children 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.
Children in Ysgol Acrefair learn to communicate in both English and Welsh, and their learning is further developed through lessons in Spanish and British Sign Language.
Mr Allman represents Ysgol Acrefair as part our local International Languages Network and has led the implementation of Power Languages in our school. To further develop this work, he participated in an emersion project during which he visited Valencia to learn more of the Spanish language, about the country and culture and also shared information about teaching and learning in Ysgol Acrefair.
