Find Out More About Pilote Languages

PILOTE Languages is a Kent County Council initiative and part of the Kent Primary Modern Foreign Languages project.

Kent County Council has been promoting primary modern foreign languages since 1990. It has understood the need for our population to be skilled to the highest levels. Introducing young children to language learning gives them a real advantage, because when introduced to the concept of language learning early, they accept it as a normal thing to do. They understand WHAT it is you have to do to learn languages.

Kent pioneered the notion that primary teachers in their own classrooms could use limited language to make MFL real for their children. We are very proud of our Kent teachers who have successfully taken up this challenge.

KETV developed the PILOTE video series in 1993. To mark the new century and the new millennium, Kent are proud to showcase the next generation of Interactive CD-Rom materials, which are now being produced to support KCC schools. Such is the popularity of the PILOTE materials they are sold nationally in their thousands to schools and more recently to home users.

The CD-Roms make it even easier for teachers to introduce basic, limited yet vital, language to their pupils. The teacher will have real French children providing language models and the interactive games will give the English children the chance to practise the language items at their own speed.
