DESCRIPTION
PS : Schedule parity bilingual system BUT for Fridays which will be devoted to French MS et GS : no change In Kindergarten
Citation preview
For a new language policy at the Jakarta French School
Quality foreign language education : fewer hours of English but enhanced quality
Customized success pathways in languages Harmonization from CP to 3eme (GR 1 to 9) An existing system recognized by other schools and which
enables continuity of education
The schedule parity bilingual system was shown to have limitations :
Unsatisfactory level of French language for students at the end of cycle 3 (Gr 5)
No possible bridges between bilingual and non-bilingual programs
No continuity after CM2 (Gr 5)
CONSEQUENCE : A TEACHING TEAM THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS SYSTEM ANYMORE
Why change the existing?
PS : Schedule parity bilingual system BUT for Fridays which will be devoted to FrenchMS et GS : no change
In Kindergarten
Evolution of the 2 programs (bilingual and French) into 2 language pathways :
a bilingual pathwaya multilingual pathway
In Elementary School
Benefits of pathways versus specialization program
Well balanced class sizes Bridges made possible thanks to proficiency
groups for English classesBetter quality learning process of French
languageAchievable continuity all the way through 3ème
(Gr 9)
Focus on the bridges
Situation to date : 1 child in a speciality program can hardly move over to the other one (must change class, teacher, classmates, remedial program)
With the pathway system: a child who can change his orientation thanks to his or her progress doesn’t have to change class, just level group. This change is made possible after discussion with both teachers and parents.
Implementation at LFJ
