Quite simply: Because a competent German speaker can have improved living conditions!
The immersion method is considered to be the most successful method of foreign language acquisition. It is also the most natural way! Children begin to understand and hear the spoken language of instruction “on their own” – because they want and need to be able to follow the lessons.
Our trilingual school contributes efficiently to the functional multilingualism of your child. Multilingualism promotes the cognitive development of a child and enables the child to think more abstractly and to have a higher language awareness than his monolingual peers.
Studies show that foreign languages spoken in immersion programmes have a clearly higher intensity than in traditional school teaching. This increases the possibility for our students to learn all three languages perfectly.
We therefore practice the immersion method at GIS Yaounde. Our students immerse themselves in the language in class and acquire it quickly:
In general, multilingual children can think and act more flexibly, i.e. they can empathize more quickly with contexts that are foreign to them and act creatively. Growing up multilingually stimulates the brain – so why not encourage this at an early age?
