Language-sensitive teaching

At DISD, children with different language levels learn together. We promote multilingual development with a wealth of experience and dedication. Children with increased language support needs receive additional support from the DaF team.

Language-sensitive teaching

Our teachers design lessons that are both subject-specific and language-sensitive, adapting content to individual language levels and using methods such as repetition, word lists, and playful materials to strengthen vocabulary, grammar, and language comprehension.
