Maria Rice-Jones, the author of this scheme, has been developing, trialing and testing her unique method of language teaching in the classroom over many years. She knows it works and now wants to share it with other teachers.
  • Logical, clear format makes scheme easy to follow for both specialist and non-specialist teachers.

  • Achieves real results in the classroom. Fast-paced lessons, with an emphasis on learning and using language structures eanbles pupils to rapidly develop the ability to communicate and converse with confidence.

  • Makes learning French enjoyable. Encourages children to play with words and language structures and to create their own memory techniques which in turn helps them to internalize the language structures making them more efficient learners.

  • Brings the French language to life. Stories about the imaginary land of Hexagonie whose inhabitants are nouns, verbs and other parts of speech help to engage pupils' imaginations and further their understanding of French language structures.

  • Comprehensive coverage of all oracy and literacy objectives of the KS2 Framework for Languages and many of those for Intercultural Understanding.
