As a school we follow Kapow Primary mixed ages scheme of work for French. In the mixed age progression document it states

‘Unlike other curriculum subjects, the word ‘vocabulary’ in language learning refers to the building blocks of the subject itself rather than a simple list of relevant vocabulary. In other words, whereas vocabulary in other subjects helps develop a framework glossary of understanding, in French the vocabulary grows into more of a dictionary of knowledge chunks. But language learning does not necessarily progress simply because our vocabulary widens. In our lessons, vocabulary is taught discretely, but always with the aim of moving from simple recall of a word to a deeper understanding of how it is used in the context of sentence structure and grammar. Individual items of vocabulary need to be understood, learned, recalled, re-encountered and recycled in different topics and in different sentence forms as our learners progress in their understanding of language and grammar.’

Therefore, vocabulary grids for MFL look different to other subjects.
