How does Languagenut align with the UK National Curriculum?

Languagenut is designed to fully support language learning in UK schools by aligning closely with the National Curriculum for Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) at all key stages.

Our resources help teachers deliver engaging, structured lessons that meet curriculum expectations while supporting students’ progress and confidence in language learning.

Curriculum Coverage

Key Stage 2 (Primary):

Our Primary resources and the Primary Guided Course provide a comprehensive scheme of work tailored for Key Stage 2, helping pupils develop foundational skills in French and Spanish. Lessons focus on practical vocabulary, sentence building, phonics, and the four key language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), all aligned with the aims and content set out in the National Curriculum.

Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (Secondary):

Languagenut’s extensive secondary resources support language learning progression through Key Stages 3 and 4 across French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Mandarin, and Urdu. We offer full alignment with the new AQA and Edexcel GCSE specifications, ensuring students practice the vocabulary, grammar, and exam skills relevant to these key qualifications.

Official Endorsement and Exam Board Alignment

We are proud to be fully endorsed by Edexcel as a trusted digital resource, reflecting our commitment to quality, curriculum relevance, and supporting schools in preparing students for official UK exams. Our secondary and GCSE resources are carefully mapped to both legacy and new AQA and Edexcel GCSE syllabuses, providing targeted practice in vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, speaking, and writing—fully aligned with exam requirements.

Languagenut supports all four key language skills emphasised by the National Curriculum:

• Listening: Interactive audio activities featuring native speaker pronunciation build strong listening comprehension skills.
• Speaking: Speaking exercises, including voice recognition and sentence-building games, help students develop confidence and fluency.
• Reading: Diverse reading materials and vocabulary exercises enhance literacy and understanding.
• Writing: Writing tasks progress from vocabulary practice to open-ended writing, fostering written proficiency.
