In this paper, we analyze how oral proficiency is understood in the Danish education system in the three biggest second/third foreign languages taught in the country: French, Spanish and German. We adopt a comparative perspective and analyze how orality is addressed in these language subjects at primary school, secondary school and university levels. We compare the three languages to find similarities and differences, focusing on learning objectives, pedagogical approaches and examination forms, presented in the official curricula for each of the three educational levels. We relate the Danish stance on oral proficiency to current international research in the field and to European tendencies.

Abstract: This study aims at examining the process acquiring a second language through Mathematics subject among the students of Laboratory Primary School of Universitas Negeri Malang, which is a university-based laboratory primary school whose curriculum reflects the result of a synergy between the National Curriculum of Indonesia and International Framework. In this school, English becomes the medium of instruction in two school subjects, Science and Mathematics. The design of the study is descriptive qualitative which attempts to describe the process of acquiring English through Mathematics class. The subjects in this study were 16 third graders who belong to the International Class Program (ICP). The results of the analysis showed that the students’ language comprehension was in fact greater than their language production. Finally, it is concluded that teaching Mathematics in English facilitates the learners’ attempt in learning English.

This article focuses on the coordination of the work of language cycle teachers in the context of the formation of natural learning bilingualism. Models of interaction of teachers in elementary school set in our study, the most effective, in our opinion, form of bilingual education is revealed – «One teacher is one language». The essence of this model lies in the fact that the teacher of the Russian language works closely with the teacher of the Crimean Tatar language and they synchronize the formation of basic universal bilingual learning activities for the students.

Abstract This paper examines the place of language descriptions in the evaluation of bilingual education. Based on a partial analysis of data derived from the third year of a study of a Macedonian/English bilingual education program in a primary school in Melbourne, the paper suggests that the variation between children both in the forms of language which they use and in the way In which they express the knowledge available to them will have to be one of the major features of the analysis. The paper examines the varying relations between conceptual awareness and the forms of expression used by some of the children. The paper argues for a framework of the description of language development which takes account of the variation within and between individuals.

The Creation

The article proposes a methodology for the formation of functional mathematical literacy of primary school students as a component of functional literacy. This methodology is based on mathematical models and their animation illustrations. Based on international research, it is shown that mathematical modeling is the most important universal action of a student in primary school. Examples of transformation of standard tasks for movement into tasks that are more close to reality are given, in solving which it is useful to use animation modeling, which involves the creation of children's animation for educational purposes. Animated videos illustrate the solution of non-standard mathematical problems, problems with unstructured, redundant or insufcient information. The activity of creating animation models allows students to increase the level of mathematical literacy, which is confrmed by the data of the pedagogical experiment.

The first steps in bilingual education are often taken in schools by introducing CLIL modules in content subjects. The present study is a longitudinal mixed methods study that explores the perspectives of all relevant stakeholders as well as the learning and teaching perspective at a German primary school that has introduced English CLIL modules. Data was gathered from questionnaires with parents after a year of CLIL instruction (n=120), learner questionnaires (n=240), teacher interviews (n=7), transcribed lessons, as well as parts of a large-scale test that was used for learners at the end of year 4 (n=63), which is the end of primary school in the German context. The data were triangulated in order to make inferences about the perspectives of the different stakeholders in a teaching development process that affects the entire school.
