Plurilingualism
We are a multilingual school and offer four foreign languages at school (English, French, Spanish, Latin). We also see family languages as a valuable resource.
However, it is not just about simply learning more languages. We also focus on multilingual, cross-language and language-sensitive teaching as well as promoting language awareness and plurilingual skills.
Plurilingualism enables pupils to broaden their individual horizons.
Subject Network Language
In the modular subject “Language Network” at formatio Private School, students deal with authentic multilingual situations and language-sensitive approaches in various contexts. Pupils acquire skills such as language awareness, language comparison, language learning strategies, language management and intercultural awareness, while at the same time deepening their media skills and critical thinking. Through international cooperation with our partner schools (e.g. Singapore, Spain or Sweden), these skills are regularly put to the test.
Bilingual teaching (CLIL)
The formatio private school has a long tradition of successfully combining language and subject matter. By embedding the English language in the subject curriculum, communicative competence is promoted to such an extent that the language level of some students even exceeds the required Matura level (B2). The natural use of a foreign language at a high technical level opens the door to international university education for students.
Those who have learned more languages are better prepared for the world.
Language certificates
We require the completion of two internationally recognized language certificates as part of our degree. The certificates, which are valid indefinitely, are particularly valued internationally by renowned universities and companies. Our students can choose between the language certificates for English (Cambridge), French (DELF) and Spanish (DELE). Our teachers prepare language learners specifically for the respective formats with individually tailored certificate training courses.
Language-sensitive teaching
We are aware of the connection between language, thinking and knowledge. Therefore, language-sensitive work is a central principle in all subjects. In the Matura class, teachers of German and mathematics work closely together as part of a fixed weekly lesson, as the standardized and language-heavy Matura tasks require a special preparation and approach. The teachers complement their specialist knowledge optimally in order to develop a variety of strategies and ways of solving problems with the students.
