Curriculum for Excellence

Reading to appreciate other cultures

The experiences and outcomes for modern languages are described at second, third and fourth levels. Schools and centres which implement an earlier start should work towards the outcomes described at second level, providing children with stimulating opportunities for early achievement of some or all of the second level outcomes and, in the longer-term opportunities for depth and breadth of learning.
