With those abilities they can get on with their language knowledge in everyday-, occupational- and job-related situations. From the subject English the pupils also learn methodological skills for the handling of texts and media as the basis for independent learning.
Methods:
The already acquired language skills of the primary school help pupils to learn better and develop their language. Several forms of work are used. Not just the school books, but also texts, novels, media and more are applied. This mediums are age-appropiated and authentic.
In all grades and years class-tests and exams are written.
