    MYP 6 Language Info Letter 2014

    Uploaded by

    crdayment
    Students starting MYP 6 in August 2015 will study Swedish regardless of previous experience with the language. They will take a placement test to determine if they are placed in Swedish for native speakers, beginner Swedish, or intermediate Swedish. In addition to English and Swedish, students will study either Spanish or French for all of MYP years. This allows them to study their chosen language for 5 years to best prepare for the Diploma Program. Students still learning English will take EAL classes instead of a second language, and will transition to Swedish and then Spanish or French as their English skills improve. The MYP French and Spanish teachers will visit the PYP 5 students to introduce both languages, and students will choose their final language by April

    Information for students starting MYP 6 in August 2015

    Language Acquisition
    At ISGR we offer a variety of languages and study plans depending on the situation for
    each individual student.
    In MYP 6 all students will study Swedish, regardless of their previous contact with the
    language. The students will take a placement test when they begin MYP 6 in August.
    Depending on the results, students will be put into Swedish A for mother tongue
    proficiency students, Phase 1/2 (beginner) or Phase 3/4 (intermediate). It will take the
    first 2 weeks of school in August to sort out who is in which class.
    In addition to English and Swedish the students will study one of the Language
    Acquisition languages offered by ISGR MYP. Each student will study either Spanish or
    French. The language that they choose will be the language that they learn for the
    whole of MYP. This means that a student cannot swap from Spanish to French or vice
    versa once the choice has been made.
    The fact that students choose their Language Acquisition language before starting MYP 6
    is so that they are able to study their language of choice for 5 full years. This will allow
    them to be best prepared for the Diploma Program.
    Students who are just learning English will be enrolled in EAL (English as Another
    Language) and will not be taking any second language. Once the student has developed
    his/her English skills to an intermediate level, he/she will join the Swedish class. Then,
    when students have a strong understanding and ability in English they will leave EAL all
    together and join French or Spanish.
    The MYP French and Spanish teachers will be traveling up to Guldheden in the next 2
    weeks to run a joint language class for the PYP 5 students so that they get a chance to
    hear both languages. After that lesson the students will bring home a form to fill out for
    their final language choice. We will want your responses by April 17th.
