International School of Stuttgart > learning at ISS > language learning at ISS > EAL - english as an additional language
 Research has shown that the more children use language in meaningful situations, the more rapidly they achieve competency. We provide our English language learners with a wide range of opportunities to use language to communicate. They learn by doing, by trying out language, and modifying it to serve communicative needs in natural and authentic situations. Our English as an Additional Language programme draws heavily on the interests and experiences of the children, incorporating "real-life" language which reflects the lives, values and experiences of children from differing cultural backgrounds.
It is essential to this learning that the children feel they are successful members of the group. We endeavour, therefore, to create learning environments where a child feels comfortable and accepted, while feeling challenged and ready to take risks, knowing that mistakes and misunderstandings are accepted as essential to human growth and development. Further information about the programme can be found in our Secondary School EAL Handbook and for the Primary School in the following languages: English German Japanese Korean |
