Foreign language teaching

English

English as the first foreign language for all pupils of grades 1-11 in Novopecherska school is taught by two teachers — a native speaker and a Ukrainian-speaking teacher.

English-speaking teachers from Canada, the USA, and the UK create appropriate language learning practices during the classes. All native speakers are qualified teachers of their languages and pass an expert selection. Their lessons are in the form of debates and discussions that promote the development of communication skills.

Lessons from Ukrainian-speaking teachers develop reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills in interactive exercises, projects, presentations, and creative writing. Attention is being paid to monitoring students' knowledge and progress in the study of foreign languages. Students are tested at the beginning and at the end of the school year.

The information technologies are used widely during the lessons, as well as the latest resources by leading publishers. Success monitoring is independent.

In case of absence of a student, attendance of additional foreign language courses may be necessary. Students can register for a foreign language teacher's consultation and receive information on a missed topic.

Second foreign language

The School offers students to choose a second foreign language which they want to learn: French, Spanish, German or Chinese. It is taught in cooperation with Ukrainian-speaking teachers. From the 9th grade, only a native speaker teaches.

The experience of leading world methods in teaching foreign languages ​​proves that it is possible to simultaneously master two foreign languages ​​in a qualitative way. The study of a third foreign language promotes personal development, but we can not advise you to study three languages ​​simultaneously.
