Students create an adventure game in which players must collectively solve a puzzle in languages and science in order to get out of a room.
They have one hour! This game, made available to partner schools and parents, combines oral and written comprehension activities. Developing language skills also means displaying all the languages offered in a school. The multilingual school display helps to integrate languages into the school landscape and to motivate students. Each student draws up a list of words and expressions in at least two languages language of schooling, family languages, foreign or regional languages, etc.
Co-teaching situations gave pupils the opportunity to present several monuments in art history and English class by working on video dubbing. They were able to develop skills in languages and art history. Language plays a central role in all learning.
That is the reason why all teachers should become communication experts. This includes not only the linguistic dimension of every subject, it also means developing skills to help students to communicate and being able to create a whole communication plan for a project.
Two proposals might help to achieve these goals: the promotion of CLIL and the development of school exchange programmes in all subjects. In this school, where half of the pupils are Polish, the linguistic dimension is now taken into account in all educational activities classes, projects, mobility, cultural events, etc.
