Foreign Language Department
Nuestro Proceso de Bilinguismo
El manejo de los idiomas como llave al éxito de nuestros estudiantes
Tenemos bilingüismo progresivo, estamos avalados y certificados bajo Resolución 484 del 3 de Noviembre de 2023 como Colegio Bilingüe Nacional por parte de Secretaria de Educación; contamos con el desarrollo de la segunda lengua en Ingles en diferentes áreas y asignaturas.
Nuestros estudiantes aprenden vocabulario para comunicarse en el día a día y comprenden temas académicos que les permiten un mejor dominio en Ingles.
En Abriendo Caminos, nuestros estudiantes inician con el bilingüismo desde primera infancia y preescolar para ir grado a grado avanzando a un nivel A1, A2, B1 o superior para los grados de primaria y bachillerato, proponiendo así la obtención de una certificación con un examen internacional, próximamente contaremos con la alianza y junto al trabajo colaborativo podremos realizar el PRIMARY ENGLISH TEST a nuestros estudiantes.
Los estudiantes de prejardín a quinto acorde al plan de estudios reciben asignaturas y clases en inglés.*
FOCUS
A communicative approach to foreign language teaching that favors the use of language as a basic element in different situations and contexts, through interaction and the development of the four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. The use of language, determined by the actions carried out by social and individual beings, generates pragmatic and linguistic competences. The proposed activities that involve language processes such as producing and decoding texts, are related to themes in specific areas. People use available skills in various contexts and under different conditions and constraints.
Las actividades propuestas que involucran procesos del lenguaje tales como producir y decodificar textos, se relacionan con temáticas en áreas específicas. Las personas usan las habilidades disponibles en diversos contextos y bajo diferentes condiciones y restricciones.
