I started a thread a while ago asking about levels in French in Year 7 and was reassured that a level 3 in Year 7 was not too bad....
I've just been to DS1's parents evening and have been given his final levels for the end of Year 7. He has a level 6 in Maths, English and Science and level 5 in all other subjects except French where he has a level 3!
This still seems very low given his ability in other areas of study and I know that there are many students in his group who have been given level 4. His teacher said 'he's not going to break any records in this subject' and asked whether he was good at maths, suggesting that because he is good at maths his brain probably doesn't 'do' languages
So I'm wondering what to do. Do I let him plod along and accept that maybe languages are 'not his thing' or is there anything I can do to help him? He has to start a second language (he's chosen German) in September so I'm keen to help him 'get to grips' with language learning if I can....
Any ideas / advice / experiences would be much appreciated :)
