The aim of the English program is to get
six- and seven-year-olds to listen to English,
to begin to understand it, and then to get
them to use words or phrases themselves.
There is no reading or writing of English in
the first and second grades. That only begins
in the third and fourth years of primary
school, so that children have a grounding
in written German first, before they’re
confronted with spelling, word recognition
and reading texts in English.
“Children possess a highly efficient
capability for learning languages in natural
surroundings,” says Professor Erika Werlen,
a linguist at the University of Tübingen.
“We really only need to give children a
thought-provoking, relaxed, high-quality
language ‘bath’ – based on real situations
and actions – and they learn the basic
structures of a foreign language. They don’t
need to build up complex sentence struc-
