The key to any successful course is how well it caters for the needs of every student and how well you are supported, whether teacher or parent, so that you are able to deliver the course confidently. Language Magnet always puts the learner and the non-specialist teacher or parent at the heart of everything we provide. Differentiation is embedded throughout the course to cater for all ability levels, referred to as "emerging", "expected" and "exceeding" in all four skill areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and teachers and parents are fully supported with how to deliver differentiated resources and activities within the lessons.

Activity sheets are frequently differentiated into two or three levels of challenge and many of the presentations and lesson plans provide alternative levels of language teaching. Our carefully crafted scheme of work for both French and Spanish recycles vocabulary and language structures, working them into new topics and allowing for extension and creativity, which enables the teacher or parent to easily revise previously learnt language and provide differentiation for pupils who may have missed previous topics. 

Assessments are also differentiated by varying degrees of support to enable those children who need full support to feel as confident as those students who are ready to work from memory or with minimal support. Our unique Colour Coded Grammar System supports differentiation in assessment resources as well as being baked into the entire programme to enable children, teachers and parents to capitalise on cross-curricular grammar learning with English or other latin based languages.

The Assessment Criteria are easy to use and clearly set out the degrees of differentiation in learning outcomes, enabling all teachers and parents to easily identify the level each child is working at for listening, speaking, reading and writing in the target language. Full support is also provided with live and recorded webinar CPD coaching for teachers, or Drop-In Sessions for parents, to empower even the most inexperienced teacher or parent to be able to assess confidently at all levels.

The positive and supportive resources that Language Magnet has built into the lesson activities and assessments means that children always feel proud of what they achieve. Whether students, teachers or parents have had previous language experience or none at all, the Language Magnet French and Spanish courses offer sufficient support, stretch and challenge for everyone.
