Whether you teach foreign languages or lead the subject in your school, all the documentation and guidance you need to ensure you are always ahead of the curve is provided.

Our curriculum guidance and planning service includes everything from providing all of the documentation and policies your school requires to guide your school’s foreign language learning journey to unit planners built bespoke for you. Everything your school’s foreign language leader needs is provided. Our unit planners cover your medium and long-term planning and detail which units we recommend are taught to each year group in your school for each half-term of the school year to ensure each pupil is challenged and stretched, all the requirements of DfE Languages Programme of Study for KS2 are met and substantial learning and progression is achieved.

Our resources automatically link your teaching to the 12 attainment targets set out in the DfE Languages Programme of Study for KS2 as well as giving you a comprehensive history of pupil learning and progression in the main language learning skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Our Language Angels Tracking & Progression Tool enables you to record, analyse and interpret data for the foreign language teaching you provide. You can use the comprehensive reporting facility to monitor where each of your pupils is in their foreign language learning journey.

With this tool you can:

• View the Learning and Progression Timeline of a class or individual pupil. This visually demonstrates the progress your classes are making against the 12 teaching targets stipulated in the DfE Key Stage 2 Languages Programme of Study.
• View and analyse overall class and individual pupil performance in each of the four key language learning skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing).
• All results are given as a total score, a percentage score and a performance description.

Our Tracking & Progression Tool records the progress of each of your pupils as measured by our End Of Unit Skills Assessments provided in Lesson 6 of each of our units.

Francesca and Paolo Pini founded Language Angels in 2012 and since then the team has expanded to include an ever-growing number of foreign language teaching professionals, linguists and specialists.

Francesca has spent more than 25 years teaching languages through all the educational key stages. She has held numerous leadership roles from Head of Department and Teaching & Learning Mentor to Advanced Skills Teacher for Languages in one of London’s largest boroughs.

Our team at Language Angels also includes two of Francesca’s students who went on to study languages at university and are now an integral part of our Language Angels family. We also have teachers on the team who have spent many years teaching languages using our resources and now offer our users advice, support and guidance to ensure they get the very most from every one of their language lessons.

Together, the Language Angels team supports an ever-growing number of primary schools around the country, aiding their staff to embed and sustain foreign languages in their schools using Language Angels as their primary teaching tool.

At Language Angels we have a very clear aim: We want to ensure every child at primary school has a real opportunity to learn a foreign language, irrespective of where they live, dwindling school budgets and lack of subject specialism. We know these may not be ideal conditions but we continue to prove it can be done and done well. We know that, together with the brilliant primary school teachers we have in this country, we can reverse previous trends of poor foreign language acquisition and produce the future linguists our country requires and deserves. Importantly, we can do this without adding to the workload or stress levels of teachers. Together we will build solid language learning foundations at primary level so a passion for languages and subsequent linguistic success will follow.

Paolo & Francesca regularly speak at conferences and present webinars on primary language teaching.
