Pros and cons of bilingual primary schools in Austria. Analysis of the effectiveness for children
About this book
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: 2, ĂBV PĂ€dagogische Hochschule Wien, language: English, abstract: In dieser Arbeit soll herausgefunden werden, ob die EinfĂŒhrung einer bilingualen Volksschule fĂŒr alle Kinder sinnvoll wĂ€re. Englisch ist heutzutage eine der wichtigsten Sprachen der Welt. Da es Kindern besonders leicht fĂ€llt neue Sprachen zu lernen, ist es sinnvoll so frĂŒh wie möglich damit zu beginnen. AuĂerdem legt die EU besonders groĂen Wert darauf, dass jedes EU-Mitglied mindestens zwei weitere Sprachen, die in der EU gesprochen werden, beherrscht. In österreichischen Volksschulen wird Englisch als "Verbindliche Ăbung" unterrichtet. In der ersten und zweiten Schulstufe sollen insgesamt 32 Jahresstunden Englisch unterrichtet werden. Ab der dritten Schulstufe gibt es eine festgelegte Wochenstunde Englisch. Obwohl es viele GrĂŒnde gibt, warum es sinnvoll ist, die Kinder beim Englischerwerb zu unterstĂŒtzen, wird dies in österreichischen Schulen immer noch nicht angemessen verwirklicht.When you take a closer look you realize that five out of the eight Austrian neighboring countries have another official language than German. Knowing that there are 24 official languages in Europe it is obvious that the EU wants its citizens to learn as many languages as possible. English is a universal language which is used to communicate with people who do not speak each other's first languages. Being able to speak English is a skill which is not only helpful to have a successful school career but to have success in life. Elementary schools are primarily responsible to introduce and teach English to all children. Most bilingual elementary schools are run completely or partly private which makes it impossible for families with lower incomes to enroll their children in these private bilingual schools. Wouldn't it be great if every child in Austria could get an education in both English and German in their public elementary school?
