“I want to enroll my son in Elementary School, but he has never attended a bilingual school and does not speak English. Is it possible?” This is a very common question among parents who visit our School and the answer is: it’s not only possible, but also very common!
For 4 years, Green Book has had the English Club, a support program for students who have some difficulty in speaking English.
Initially focused on reinforcement in line with classroom content, the English Club has been transformed and, currently, students are grouped based on their level of English knowledge, regardless of the grades they are in. The evaluations are carried out in the same way.
English Club classes are ministered by the teachers of each class and take place once or twice a week, according to the needs of each group. Although classes are in groups, each student is assisted individually.
The English Club starts in the 2nd week of February and continues throughout the school year. Students can participate throughout the year, or even be invited during the school year, as well as leave the program as soon as the teacher notices he or she is capable of accompanying the regular group without support.
Clubbers feel confident and the results are amazing!
