Language and Vocabulary Development:

“qt电子知道,大约60%的英语词汇来自拉丁语和希腊语的组合, with the more technical vocabulary of school reaching even higher, to something like 90%...通过使英语的根源更加明显,qt电子提供了许多可教学的时刻。”

Alex Quigley (2018).

 

The development of language, vocabulary and communication (both receptive and expressive), 在qt电子教导学生的方式中扮演着重要的角色. This begins in Nursery and EYFS with the teaching of systematic, synthetic phonics (Using the Read, Write, Inc. 系统),并随着孩子们在学校学习流利地用口语和书面英语表达自己的进步而继续.

 

In order to develop this still further as children reach Key Stage Two, we place a great emphasis on the teaching and understanding of complex, tier two vocabulary. We aim to deepen children’s understanding of their own language, by exposing them to ever-more complex links to its Latin roots. 关键阶段一的简单词根教学(可能包括数字词根), 例如“tri”是三的意思)为孩子们进入关键阶段二时的拉丁语和古典文学的明确教学做准备.

 

It has been demonstrated, 对英语和其他语言(如拉丁语)的理解和词汇量的扩大是“一系列教育成就和能力的方便代表”(《qt电子》), E.D. Hirsch Jr). Furthermore, evidence shows that, alongside socio-economic status, 词汇量和对语言的理解是两个最重要的因素, 这与孩子在GCSE英语语言考试中取得预期成绩有关吗, English Literature and Mathematics examinations (Spencer et al, 2017).

 

 

Ambition for all children, regardless of starting points:

It is one of our key foci as a partnership, 让孩子们为下一阶段的教育做好准备,甚至为他们人生的下一阶段做好准备. qt电子的许多孩子将继续进入当地的中学,那里的主要语言是罗曼语(法语和西班牙语)以及德语和普通话. qt电子认为,拉丁语的教学促进了关键阶段3语言学习的准备, 因为拉丁语中有很多概念(比如性别结尾和语法格系统), which are also present in languages commonly taught to GCSE and beyond. 这些概念在qt电子的拉丁语和古典文学课程中全面涵盖.

 

Additionally, qt电子希望孩子们在离开学校的时候有信心, they can achieve whatever they want, if they set their mind to it. 众所周知,古代语言和古典文明的研究以前一直是精英和权威人士的专利. qt电子认为,qt电子的孩子应该得到同样优秀的教育标准,以便帮助他们——如果他们愿意的话——在严重依赖对古代语言的理解的就业领域中导航, such as medicine and law. qt电子相信,包含在拉丁语学习坚实基础中的文化资本为这种雄心勃勃的教育和社会流动方法提供了良好的基础.

 

然而,qt电子的拉丁语教学的目的不仅仅是让孩子们为前途光明的职业生涯做好准备. The British Cohort Study (Law et. al, 2009) demonstrated that children with restricted language, 五岁时的词汇量和沟通能力在进入成年后更有可能出现心理健康和幸福问题. This is not something we want for our children. qt电子的目标是——通过促进围绕心理健康的讨论以及广泛的, 平衡和结构化的课程-以各种不同的方式增加孩子们表达自己的能力. Latin plays a pivotal role in this. 随着自信心的增强,讨论和描述周围世界的能力也增强了, we aim to bolster not only academic learning, but the development of children’s emotional maturity too.

 

 

Latin language and the Church of England:

As a Church of England School partnership, we are keen to expose children to music, 艺术和基督教以及其他世界宗教的重要文本. Historically, 拉丁语已经成为英格兰教会礼拜仪式的重要组成部分,qt电子的目标是在适当的情况下将其纳入qt电子更广泛的学术和SMSC课程. This may include, but is not limited to the following:

 

  • 在qt电子日常的集体敬拜中注意拉丁词汇或短语.

  • Strengthening elements of our R.E. curriculum by explicitly making appropriate links to Latin (for example, when teaching the concept of trinity or incarnation in LKS2, 拉丁词根“tri”或“carn”可能与英语同源词一起教授).

 

 

qt电子如何发展语言的积木-自然拼读,语法和词汇:

qt电子合作学校的孩子在三年级开始时开始结构化的拉丁语课程. 他们能稳步提高发音和操纵声音(自然发音)的能力,并理解这些在目标语言中的书面表达方式.

 

Across Key Stage Two, 孩子们被教导使用越来越复杂的方法来操纵语言和翻译目标语言. 这些技能在qt电子的技能发展文档中有详细说明, but will include simple concepts such as masculine, feminine (and later, 第三年是中性结尾,而第五年和第六年是更复杂的概念,比如区分和操作语法系统.

 

When learning new vocabulary in the target language, 鼓励孩子们专注于他们反复接触的更常用的单词(为了帮助他们长期记忆这些单词). 他们将被明确地教授英语同源词和其他记忆关键词汇的方法(如助记术和简单的押韵)。. We aim to help our children “do less with more” in their Latin lessons, so that by the end of Key Stage Two, they have been able to make substantial progress in one language.

 

Alongside the teaching of phonics, vocabulary and grammar, 作为课程的一部分,孩子们将接触到古代神话和文化. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

 

  • 每学期都将深入讲授一个著名的神话故事,在适当的时候,还会有跨课程的联系

  • 大一点的孩子会利用他们之前的知识来翻译和讨论古典神话和文学作品的书面版本. Initially, these may be simplified.

  • 孩子们将被教导罗马和古希腊文化的重要性(主题可能包括教育, festivals/religion, storytelling, food and invasion/empire).
