What is the relationship between this Diploma and Key Stage 4?
A. Principal Learning for the Diploma in Languages and International Communication at Foundation and Higher levels will offer learners valuable opportunities to apply some key concepts and processes from the key stage 4 programme of study for English, helping to reinforce their knowledge and understanding and enabling them to use skills acquired (particularly in speaking and listening, reading and writing) in the context of their learning for languages. As part of the qualification development process, curriculum guidance will be produced that will include examples of opportunities to develop and exploit connections between Principal Learning in this Diploma and learning in other areas at key stage 4 through the statutory programmes of study, and entitlement areas. The aim of this guidance will be to support consortia in the design of coherent learning experiences for each young person on their Diploma programme.
