English Development and 21st Century Skills
During this program, students gain confidence and become more independent learners and users of the English language. They develop their English skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—while improving their vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar comprehension. At the same time, they acquire essential 21st-century skills such as communication, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and cultural awareness.
To showcase their progress and achievements, students produce a work portfolio. This hands-on approach not only facilitates tracking their improvements but also strengthens their sense of accomplishment.
This course offers a unique opportunity to meet and bond with students from around the world, fostering an enriching cultural exchange.
Project-based learning is at the core of our program. Project themes are designed to allow students and teachers to tailor learning according to the group's needs and interests. Each student group explores a different topic, ensuring a personalized learning experience. A central question guides each project, encouraging students to collaborate in creating a concrete outcome.
The activity program is an essential part of the course. It enables students to practice their language skills in a natural and fluid context. Afternoon activities are specifically designed to enhance communication and self-confidence while developing academic, creative, and physical skills. Students also participate in a variety of school-wide organized activities, such as games, competitions, disco nights, and performances.
