Foreign Languages in Balearic Classrooms

Responsible for this content: Frank Menze

The education authority wants to strengthen foreign-language learning and sees language assistants in the classroom as an important source of support.

The central question is how pupils in the Balearic Islands can learn to speak and understand a foreign language better. For schools on Mallorca, this is part of the educational goals set out for the islands.

The school language model has several aims: by the end of compulsory schooling, young people should be proficient in Catalan and Spanish and have acquired knowledge of a foreign language. The language they speak at home when they start school should make no difference.

The official text also highlights language assistants in lessons. It regards their involvement in the classroom as important for developing foreign-language skills.
