The Government has decided, in its wisdom, to get the QCA to manage a public consultation on changes to the National Curriculum.
The consultation will run from 30th April until 24th July, although parents are only to be consulted fron the beginning of June! Why?
I only just found out about this and I'm sure most of you didn't have a clue either. If you did, thanks for the "heads up".
Most subjects will have changes to their NC level descriptors, but I'm more interested in MFL than in the others. By clicking here you can read the proposals for MFL.
If I have understood correctly, there will be 3 attainment targets:
1) Listening and Speaking
2) Reading and Writing
3) Intercultural understanding
The third one is, of course, brand new, and it's a tricky one.
As far as I can make out, you could get a level 8, or even Exceptional Performance without actually knowing a single world of a foreign language. (My results should improve then!)
