Leoben relies on bilingual education: New English program for students

In Leoben, an innovative educational program is launched that focuses on promoting the English language. The Pestalozzi elementary school and the Europagymnasium have come together, supported by the city of Leoben, the state of Styria and various business representatives to create a bilingual offer for students.

The initiative aims to offer teachers and learners a high -quality training that meets the global requirements. Due to today's dynamic world, language control should be promoted early in order to enable young people to integrate simple integration into international contexts. The earlier children learn a language, the more playful and more natural their application becomes in different areas of life.

English in school lessons

The special program "Leoben Bilingual Schooling" enables the students to enjoy intensive training in the English language from the first class elementary school to the Matura. In an environment in which English is used as a main language of the instruction, the learners receive the opportunity to deepen their knowledge not only theoretically but also in practice. A special multi -level class is offered in the Pestalozzi elementary school, which contains comprehensive basic training in English.

A central aspect of this project is that the students have to bring a high level in English that corresponds approximately to the native language level in order to be included in these classes. In this way it is ensured that everyone involved is at a similar level of performance and can learn optimally together.

The Europagymnasium Leoben complements this initiative with its European classes, in which English is used as a labor language. In these classes, not only English is taught, but also in at least two other subjects the lessons are carried out in English. This concept offers the students the opportunity to acquire additional language and specialist skills that can be decisive for their future training.

Mayor Kurt Wallner is happy about the development and emphasizes the advantages that arise from improving the educational offer for the region. "Our goal is to create an attractive environment for families who have moved to Leoben for professional reasons," he said. Wallner is optimistic that the demand for such a offer will increase in the coming years.

support from local companies

To secure the LEoben location as a powerful educational center, the association "Supporter of the International School Leoben" was founded. This association consists of members of local companies and institutions, including AT & S, RHI Magnesita and the Montan University Leoben. The association provides financial support for special teaching materials and teaching aids that are important for the implementation of the bilingual program. This creates a strong network that improves the quality of the lesson sustainably.

This joint commitment should not only strengthen language support in Leoben, but also create a cultural diversity. With this approach it is hoped to offer students the best possible training for an increasingly globalized world.

The initiative sets new standards in the next generation of linguistic training and positions Leoben as a future -oriented educational location.
