We aim to instil a love of language learning within children, encouraging them to be languages detectives, working to decode new vocabulary. Our topics feature a mixture of speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, language learning strategies and cultural references. Each lesson is supported by our unique teacher videos, demonstrating pronunciation and key teaching techniques for effective language learning.

Testimonials

Using Kapow has been hugely positive for both children and teachers. We have even had French awards in our celebration assemblies – something we never had before as the level of engagement was not there. Now children really enjoy their MFL lessons. All teachers report that the resources are easy to use and clear to understand. Teachers find t...

It is incredibly helpful for teachers who have limited French experience. Activities are always relevant and adapted to different needs. They focus on having fun, which makes it incredibly engaging for the pupils. Lessons and units build really cohesively on one another to help them retain key vocabulary. It is incredible! Our school loves Kapow!

Mrs White

The resources and plans are great and easy to follow. All staff can confidently pick up a plan and teach a strong French lesson with support from the videos and accompanying resources. We love Kapow languages in our school and it has greatly improved the French teaching in our small school.

Laura

The planning explains exactly which slide to use and gives ideas on what to talk about for each. I used to hate teaching French but now it’s one of my favourite subjects to teach. Thi...

A quick recap of last week’s French lesson blew me away… they’ve learnt so much in just one term of Kapow!
