Our goal is to provide learners with a space where they can strive intellectually,<br>physically and emotionally; be open and feel happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Dual-Way Immersion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Alternating on a weekly base, Czech and German are taught in morning and afternoon blocks, while one<br>teacher is assigned to each language block.  Therefore, language becomes a tool for conveying a range of subjects and ideas rather than just linguistic information. Core subjects, that is, language,<br>mathematics and sciences, are taught in both languages, allowing coverage of the curricula in preparation of middle\/high school in both the Czech Republic and Germany (Gymnasium). Other subjects are distributed equally between languages according to the language and subject expertise of teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Immersion is designed to offer learners of an additional language longer periods in a \u201cminority\u201d language<br>so they have the chance to actively engage with it. By doing so, learners can experiment, practice, play,<br>and consolidate their linguistic skills in a variety of ways and communicative situations. Children with<br>only a basic knowledge of German or Czech particularly benefit from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Focus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Our first focus is <strong>literacy<\/strong> and <strong>bilteracy<\/strong> as well as life around our reading corner. Language proficiency and literacy have been found to be closely related in several studies. Literacy fosters creativity, sparks<br>curiosity, and stimulates children\u2019s imaginations. Reading provides children with models for verbalizing<br>their own thoughts, which are often abstract. Reading tasks that provide opportunities for critical<br>reflection and debate, such as book presentations or author conferences, prepare children to become<br>confident, independent, and self-assured members of their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The second focus is on <strong>expressive arts<\/strong>. We consider sports, dance, music, media arts and drama as<br>categories of expressive art. \u201cWorks of art\u201d can surprise their viewers and evoke<br>personal responses. The arts can have significant power to move people to action, which is why our<br>school pays special attention to them. For this reason, we regularly invite our students to see, hear, and<br>read in novel ways through a variety of artworks and media. We believe this is fundamental to<br>making connections and seeing things from a different perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The third focus is <strong>mathematics<\/strong>. We want to teach mathematics as a medium for thinking, solving<br>problems, and understanding connections. In this regard, we work with materials such as <em>Sinus Transfer<\/em>,<br><em>Mathe Forscher<\/em> as well as materials that use the Shanghai and Singapore math methods. In the spirit of dialogic learning, these materials promote learning by doing and encourage children<br>to apply concepts in an authentic and meaningful manner through a dialogue with the self and the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our vision is to create naturally bilingual learning environments in which action and experimenting are atthe forefront of learning.
