ENGLISH

English instruction at École des Lumières combines language classes with immersive sessions to provide a rich and engaging learning experience.

 

From preschool to Grade 8, students benefit from four English periods per week. In addition, cultural and educational activities connected to English learning are included throughout the school year. For example, 'English Breakfast Week' gives students the chance to discover culinary traditions while practicing the language in a welcoming and engaging environment.

 

Other initiatives, such as thematic workshops or days dedicated to Anglo-Saxon culture, further strengthen this linguistic and cultural immersion. These special moments spark students' interest and support their progress in mastering English.

The objectives defined in the program are :

  • Develop the student’s phonological awareness.
  • Trigger oral comprehension and expression processes through an environment that promotes linguistic immersion.
  • Develop written comprehension and expression through consistent and incremental practice.
  • Enrich the vocabulary.
  • Gradually integrate English skills into other subjects.

The themes covered are aligned with the teachings of other subjects, allowing students to find meaning in their learning and facilitating connections across disciplines.
