New resources arriving from the Region, for an amount of 2.6 million euros , to enhance the teaching and learning of foreign languages on the island.
Starting from this school year, as part of the "(Si torna) Tutti a Iscola" programme, the WELL notice (Workshops of English to Learn at Leisure) was published, an intervention based on the formula of extra-curricular workshops to be proposed in a structured way to children and young people of primary and lower secondary schools.
"Overall - says the councilor of Public Education, Andrea Biancareddu - 2 million and 600 thousand euros will be available, entirely intended for Sardinian primary school children for projects to be implemented between the present and the next school year".
The aim of the program is to «raise the learning levels of Sardinian school students in foreign languages. Each school will be able to present a project including up to 6 laboratories».
«Each workshop can have a duration between 60 and 120 hours, with at least ten children involved - adds the commissioner -. The project may also include a succession of teaching levels between the various laboratories. It is therefore a matter of promoting contact with the English language from childhood, making it a pleasure for boys and girls and for school and parents as an extra opportunity».
The activities must be based on the formula of extra-curricular laboratories in order to facilitate the learning of the language through a playful and practical approach suitable for the first years of school.
The beneficiaries of the intervention are the autonomous state schools and the equal non-state schools of Sardinia.
