Bilingualism

Welcome

Methodology

  • The English language becomes a vehicle of communication, content, feelings, needs, etc.
  • Language acquisition occurs naturally.
  • Dynamic activities that help to stimulate interest in the language.
  • We work with real-life elements that represent something important and meaningful to the student.

Class Distribution

  • Arranged with the aim of promoting group work and decorated with children’s work to encourage their motivation.

    Native Language Assistants

    • Our school has the help of four native speaking assistants.
    • They assist English teachers in primary education as well as two sessions in preschool.
    • They create a “bilingual environment” and facilitate the normality of speaking a second language throughout the school.
    • Encourage the knowledge of other customs, cultures and holidays.
