In response to the needs of today’s highly globalized society, more and more people are deciding to learn at least two foreign languages. One method of achieving language proficiency is so-called intentional bilingualism.
German, English, Spanish, or French – these are the languages most commonly taught in traditional schools. However, at the International Trilingual School of Warsaw (ITSW), children can also learn less traditional and future-oriented languages, such as Chinese and Japanese.
Every parent wants to provide their child with the best start possible. Understanding the potential of young minds, it’s worth considering a language preschool to promote their development. Through this, even at a young age, they will learn to speak one or more foreign languages fluently, opening the door to numerous career opportunities and more.
In the words of the famous phrase, “The sooner, the better.” The ability to learn a foreign language diminishes with age! As we age, acquiring the skill of speaking a foreign language, just like native speakers, becomes increasingly challenging. In one of the most extensive linguistic studies involving over 660,000 participants, researchers from three Boston universities demonstrated that children have the capacity for effective second language learning until the age of 18. This is approximately a decade longer than suggested by earlier research! (more…)
Many people often confuse language schools or kindergartens with bilingual or trilingual institutions, but they do not necessarily mean the same thing. In a trilingual kindergarten or trilingual primary school, the focus is not solely on learning two foreign languages; rather, classes are conducted in two languages!

Calling all ITSW students! Join the excitement of the ITSW Summer Contest and unleash your linguistic talents for a chance to win big!
AT ITSW, the one person one language method (OPOL) has been used as a strategy to immerse students in the trilingual system. Native teachers from all over the world speak solely their language of origin in order for the students to surround themselves with the mother tongue.
In the period of July 3 – 09 this year, four teachers had the opportunity to take part in a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) and CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) training in Burgos, Spain. The workshop was organized as part of the eTwinning SeLFiE Project.
