Bilingual Classes

What are bilingual classes?

Bilingual classes combine the teaching of school subjects with intensive practice of the English language. This means that the student learns subjects such as mathematics, science or history while improving vocabulary and listening comprehension. In many cases, teachers use visual resources and practical activities to ensure the assimilation of both content at the same time.

Why this format is effective?

This pedagogical model is especially useful for students who are still in the process of linguistic adaptation. First, it enables academic learning even with developing vocabulary. Secondly, it increases the student’s confidence to interact with peers and teachers in English. As a consequence, linguistic and academic progress happens in a more natural and balanced way.

Bilingual classes in FCA programs

At FCA, the use of bilingual strategies is present at different stages of the educational path. Programs like Mini High School, High School Semester and the ESL (English as a Second Language) incorporate bilingual methodologies into everyday classes. This way, students can follow the content more confidently and learn progressively, even in the first months of adaptation.

International Student Support

The FCA pedagogical team offers constant support to students who participate in bilingual classes. This includes specialized tutoring, individualized support and complementary materials. Furthermore, teachers promote a welcoming environment and encourage active participation from all students. This makes learning more dynamic and efficient.
