First Student Exchange with a school in the UK since the end of the pandemic
Hello everyone!
This article was written by a student from 8.2, the grade 8 English class.
What is the English class (“Sprachklasse“)?
In this class you have other subjects in English, too.
You start off with Music and History (bilingual lessons) in grade 7.
Each school year, another subject taught in English (e.g. Biology) is added.
What else does the English class do?
We also participate in many projects, like a performance for parents/teachers on stage or even
a student exchange.
In 2024, the first student exchange with a class in the United
Kingdom (UK) since the end of the pandemic will take place.
What is a student exchange?
A student exchange is like a school trip, but still a little bit different.
All students of the grade 8 English class could apply to take part in the exchange.
They had to fill in a form and hand it in to our class teacher Ms Bachmann.
The people who were accepted were then given the e-mail address of a student that lives in
England. All the exchange students from there go to the same school.
By communicating by e-mail, etc. you get to know your exchange partner until the
actual exchange. During the exchange, the students from the UK stay with you for about
10 days (in this case June 2024). In the next school year, it is switched and you
get to stay with your exchange partner for 10 days (in this case September 2024).
If you want to find out more about our student exchange, please watch the video.
Enjoy!
