In MFL we challenge students intellectually as they acquire knowledge of how other languages are structured and memorise vocabulary and understand the use of tenses etc. They develop skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. We enhance their personal development by: broadening their horizons; developing their multi-cultural awareness; improving their communication skills; building resilience and asking them to show initiative by working independently and teamwork skills when they work in pairs. All of these facilitate students building confidence to deal with material and situations which for many students are outside their typical experiences in Nantwich and Crewe.​
