Class teachers are supported daily for 6 hours a day for every day of the week by native English teachers to carry out all the educational activities, in order to make learning the second language natural and enjoyable.
Constant exposure to the English language, its use in daily routine in educational activities in the game and at mealtimes, allow children to acquire the second language as a living language. Scuola Europa believes that the keys to success in learning English, especially in childhood, are the constancy of exposure to language, fun in use, stimulation of interest and curiosity in children.
Scuola Europa deems it essential to expose children to the language as soon as possible and for this reason, it has chosen to include bilingualism in the nursery school. The authentic material in a foreign language is used by developing the five senses, in a sensory approach, inserting English naturally into normal classroom activities with references to international and Italian culture. An integral part of the activities in the language are the educational outings to the theater, viewing and performance of shows, theme workshops.
MUSICAL EDUCATION
The child is naturally open to the music, listen with interest and lives with the body and the imagination, each song that is proposed, demonstrating a musicality widespread, that should be exalted, and educated, thanks to the music game. The number of pupils is limited, and the composition of the group homogeneous.
LISTEN – development of the capacity of attention and concentration, detection, storage and analysis of the different sounds from the environment.
DANCE – development of the localization ability and the awareness of our own body through listening to music experienced with the body, until forms of dramatization in the body.
PLAY – the development of skills and rhythmic sound-and “playing” your body (body percussion).
TALK – the development of the ability of pronunciation and improvement in phonetic-articulatory with the music spoken
SING – the development of the first vocal song, breathing control and management of its intonation
KNOW – expansion of the general knowledge that, thanks to the music, you can make it more challenging, up to some simple part of the history of music and musical culture in general.
