Modern Languages

At Atam Academy every child throughout the school from Reception onwards has the opportunity to study Panjabi. Non-Sikh and Sikh pupils are also taught French as our chosen foreign language in accordance with the guidelines set out by the National Languages strategy. It is widely believed that the early acquisition of a foreign language facilitates the learning of other foreign languages later in life and as such we are providing our pupils with the tools and skills required to do this.

How can I practise my French?

Watch French web-TV:

Watching French animations (dessins animés) is an excellent way to help you get better at listening to and understanding French. It will also help you to get ready to speak some French yourself! You will even learn more about the way of life for children in France.

Tivi 5 Monde has hours of animations for you to enjoy at home. Episodes of your favourite series are updated all the time so there will always be something new for you watch. Enjoy! 

Play French games and explore language websites:

These on-line games (jeux) and language websites are excellent fun and a great way to practise reading, writing and speaking in French. You can even teach yourself new vocabulary!
