What should you expect

  • The general objectives are based on building students' skills across all linguistic components of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
  • We aim to cover a variety of thematic areas: from vegetables and fruits to plants and activities related to nature, to identifying colors and describing individuals, such as seasons (autumn and autumn activities, winter - holidays and Romanian traditions, etc.), National Day, with corresponding subthemes like games, stories/fairy tales, specific relaxation activities for each season, favorite animals, cartoons, etc. This way, knowledge related to these themes will be updated, and students' vocabulary will be enriched with new lexical elements.
  • We will encourage expression in the Romanian language through group activities where children can learn from each other through collaboration and cooperation, through educational games, free discussions, the use of visual materials, working in pairs and teams, activities involving movement, songs, gestures, games, etc.
