For a new language policy at the Jakarta French School  Quality foreign language education : fewer hours of English but enhanced quality  Customized success pathways in languages  Harmonization from CP to 3eme (GR 1 to 9)  An existing system recognized by other schools and which enables continuity of education

The schedule parity bilingual system was shown to have limitations :  Unsatisfactory level of French language for students at the end of cycle 3 (Gr 5)  No possible bridges between bilingual and non- bilingual programs  No continuity after CM2 (Gr 5) CONSEQUENCE : A TEACHING TEAM THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS SYSTEM ANYMORE Why change the existing?

PS : Schedule parity bilingual system BUT for Fridays which will be devoted to French MS et GS : no change In Kindergarten

Evolution of the 2 programs (bilingual and French) into 2 language pathways : a bilingual pathway a multilingual pathway In Elementary School

Benefits of pathways versus specialization program  Well balanced class sizes  Bridges made possible thanks to proficiency groups for English classes  Better quality learning process of French language  Achievable continuity all the way through 3 ème (Gr 9)

Focus on the bridges  Situation to date : 1 child in a speciality program can hardly move over to the other one (must change class, teacher, classmates, remedial program)  With the pathway system: a child who can change his orientation thanks to his or her progress doesn’t have to change class, just level group. This change is made possible after discussion with both teachers and parents.

As is the case today in the bilingual program Eg : in CP and CE1, reading and writing being installed, we use more subjects where spoken language is favoured (arts, sports, World Discovery)
