Our whole school policy is designed in such a way that languages taught as subjects are not treated in isolation and language and non-language instruction overlap so that all subject teaching is also language teaching. This consistent implementation of content-based language(s) instruction will be transferable to all non-language content lessons; the languages to be used will be languages already present at a given institution. Our whole school policy will eventually overcome the barriers of subject as well as of age-group divisions."
