Modem Foreign Languages Th the National
Curriculum, D~ (HMSO 1995)
All students at Mereway Middle School
have an entitlement to use IT to support and enhance their learning
of a modern foreign language.
The development and integration of IT
into the MFL schemes of work is an ongoing and evolving process.
Students use IT for a variety of purposes
with a particular focus in the following units:
Unit I - Use of a spreadsheet to show
results of a birthday survey
Unit 3 - Word processing a caf6 conversation
script for distribution to all members of the cast (involves drafting
and editing)
Unit 5 - Use of the Internet and e-mail
to find out about daily routines in other countries
Unit 7 - DTP package for production
of Diary
Unit 9 - DTP package
for production of Brochure about Northampton
Unit 12- Production

At all times students, particularly
those with Special Needs, are encouraged to use CD roms and Talking
First Word for Windows to support their learning.
Students also use IT on a daily basis
in the classroom for various tasks.
The use of databases is limited by
lack of access to the network linked to time constraints. When
this situation changes the use of a database will be integrated
into the schemes of work
