FOREIGN LANGUAGE
The primary aim of language B is to encourage students to gain competence
in a modern language other than their mother tongue.
In addition, the study of language B aims to:
- encourage in the student a respect for and understanding of other languages
and cultures;
- provide a skills base to facilitate further language learning.
Proficiency in a second language gives students:
- access to a broader range of input, experiences and perspectives;
- the enjoyment of being able to communicate in a language other than
their mother tongue.
It is also acknowledged that learning another language greatly contributes
to the holistic development of students and is believed to raise
achievement in other subject areas.
The students of school Premier have an option to learn a
foreign language as Language B1 at all stages of school.
They can choose between English, French, German and
Spanish.
In Primary and Secondary school they have the maximum
of 5 hours a week, in High school - up to 9 hours. There is
an opportunity for the students to have additional classes
with native speakers.
