You are invited to join a bilingual class (with English as the language of instruction) with a British and North American specialisation.
If you want to master a language which is the key to all kinds of international contacts and which is indispensable in today’s globalised world, we are happy to present you a new addition to our offer – a class with English as the language of instruction oriented towards the culture of English-speaking countries, especially British and North American.
The intended outcome of education in this class is the development of language competence in students at an advanced level, allowing them to communicate fluently in English and to pass the matriculation examination at bilingual level.
The education cycle in English as the language of instruction with British and North American specialisation lasts 4 years and includes an intensive study of English to the extent of 6 hours per week. In addition to general education subjects in Polish, the syllabus also includes: modern history and geography with elements of culture (with particular emphasis on the USA and UK and their mutual relations). These subjects are taught exlusively in English.
Classes are taught by eminent philologists – experts in the English language area who specialise in the culture of a given region, i.e. the USA or Great Britain, as well as native speakers.
The bilingual marticulation examination, which provides the bilingual high school diploma, makes it possibile to apply for universities in English-speaking countries, without the Reed for any additional proof of language skills. In case of Polish universities, the bilingual diploma gives the possibility of gaining additional points in the recruitment process.
In times of great popularity and wide applications of English, it is not enough to know it cursorily – students of English are expected to have a high level of precision in speaking and the ability to converse on any topic. The bilingual English class with British and North American specialisation meets this challenge.
What else do we guarantee?
- Tutorials for those who are interested, which are of an individual character. During tutorials, teachers explain any doubts concerning the discussed material.
