Today, English is one of the most important languages worldwide. Therefore, we English teachers at the Stiftsgymnasium Admont set a high value on our teaching and strive towards planning our lessons carefully and individually to enable our students to interact with people all over the world. Learning English is definitely hard work in terms of studying vocabulary but English should also be fun and made lively by various games, creative lessons, role plays and interactions with Native Speakers.

In the following we will show different facets of our communicative and individual English lessons. Enjoy!

A travel back in time



The students of 2D spent the last weeks exploring ancient Egypt. After a general introduction, different tasks were set up in the classroom and students then had to do them on their own. The final task was a pyramid with some of the important pieces of information they learned from “travelling back in time”.

Christmas around the world


 

The lessons before Christmas were spent doing research. Each student of 2D chose a different country and informed themselves about the Christmas traditions there, the special food and how Merry Xmas is being expressed in the local language. Here are the proud students and their works!

Yo Ho Ho … it’s the pirates!



It’s not Santa Claus who has come early to visit the classroom of 1B, this time pirates have entered the room. The students wrote a short text, describing a pirate, then put this message into a plastic bottle and finished it off by putting a drawing of their pirate onto the bottle. Good job, pirates!

Australia – the land Down Under



The 4th forms did a lot of „virtual” travelling this year ;) They first explored Ireland, then roamed the streets of NYC and finally took a trip down under, to Australia. 

Getting to know the different cultures, exploring cities and countries as tourists and investigate local traditions were the basis for different assignments. The students created Insta-stories telling about their experiences and adventures, had a look into the local cuisine by searching for traditional recipes, organized travel schedules and looked into different sights to explore. They collected much information, had insights into the diverse cultures of the English-speaking world and enjoyed their travel experiences ;) Have a look at some of their works concerning Australia which were brilliant!

 

Travelling back in time – London history



Not even the pandemic kept the students of 3B from travelling – but only back in time ;) While learning about and exploring London, they were asked to choose either the Great Fire of London or the Great Plague of London. After investigating the topic further, they put their findings into these little brochures or booklets. Have a look and inform yourselves on historic London!

HEY HO, THESE ARE HORRIBLE PIRATES, HEY HO, HERE WE GO:


 
Even though home office differs a lot compared to normal English lessons, the 1st grade students also work at full speed at home.

After learning about pirates in class (live video conferences), they had to create their own “message in a bottle”.

The message includes a description of the pirate “Nasty Nick” and additionally includes a “picture” of his terrible looks.  

There were no limits to creativity and the results are impressive! See for yourself.
