Learning Languages at SRIS Since the SRIS school’s teaching language is English, the students develop proficiency in English in a short period of time. Our language program provides Students with extra English lessons, if they are joining us without sufficent English skills. These lessons are conducted by our EFL Department.

Our Course Offerings

English 

We offer English as first and as alternative (second) language. Students joining us from Kyrgyz or Russian schools receive extra support.

German 

We offer German up to B1 Level. Students graduate with Cambridge IGCSE in 10th grade.

Kyrgyz 

Our Kyrgyz program covers both native speakers and foreigners. Our students are divided into different language groups.

Russian 

Russian is taught as second native language. Courses for foreigners are available.

Basic and Advanced level courses
All grades

Our students join our international school with very different language combinations and skills. Therefore we are equipped to train languages on different levels per class. Students can choose to take their IGCSE exams for all languages either on first language or second language level.

Literature and Writing Courses
5 to 12 grade

In Secondary we have dedicated literature lessons to get our students in touch with the work of great Kyrgyz, Russian and international writers. During our writing lessons we train them to create content themselves.

Machine Based Translations
8 to 12 grade

Handling multilingual content in projects and marketing has become a standard task for mid-sized and larger companies. Our students learn to use modern translation management software and acquire the skills to handle multilingual projects.

Our Teching Method

Cambridge Curriculum
All grades

All our English lessons follow the Cambridge curriculum from grade 1. We teach German from grade 8 to grade 10, following the Cambridge German syllabus for IGCSE.

Project Based Learning
5 to 12 grade

Thru the school year our students learn the practical use of a language while being engaged in enticing and interesting projects. This project based learning approach connects speaking a language with a purpose.

Cross-disciplinary teaching
8 to 12 grade

A language is not a purpose by itself. Its use is to communicate meaning. This is why we use teaching units that combine sciences and ICT with the language learning, giving the language use meaning and purpose.

Connecting Content
CLIL

Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is an approach for learning content through an additional language (foreign or second), thus teaching both the subject and the language. We use CLIL modules in all our language teaching.

English as Foreign Language
EFL support

Making the change to an international school and acquiring the necessary English skills is harder for some students. We provide these students the extra support they need, thru our EFL teachers, to catch up with their class and reach the required English level for their class quickly.

Language application
content creation

While many administrative tasks in companies will be taken over by algorithms the next two decades, the demand for creative content creation is providing ever more job opportunities. We train our students to use their language skills to create fresh content and acquire the neccessary media skills.

Cambridge IGCSE

Currently we support Cambridge IGCSE Levels for English as first language, English as second language and German as second language. For international students we support taking the IGCSE first language exam for their native language on request. In 11th and 12th grade we offer A-Levels for English.

We comply with the new standard

The Kyrgyz Republic is adoping a new standard, which originated in Europe and is now adopted as an international standard world wide. The goal is to increase the effectivness of teaching both local languages in Kyrgyzstan. The standard called CEFR is also used by Cambridge in teaching English.

Why we focus on language learning?

Study abroad
Each language opens up additional opportunities. Having studied abroad is a distinct career advantage. Worldwide many great universities offer courses in English. German makes the highly regarded universities of Germany, Austria and Switzerland accessible to our students.

More Perspective on Arts & Culture
Since the global availabilty of Netflix, we have all become aware of the different cultures and styles of story telling. Each additional language enables you to experience many more creations in their original language and get a deeper understanding of different cultures.

Business Travel & Communication
Traveling gets easier with each foreign language. You are able to communicate with people from different cultures and make new friends in other parts of the world.

Do better research
Scientific resources come in many languages. Our multilingual students can access sources in many languages and thus develop a broader few on the subjects they work on. This later increases the depth of their scientific papers and broadens their research.

Become a Better Learner
Learning are language is not just about the language itself. It opens you up to another culture and different mindsets. Multilinguality increases your ability to absorb news concepts and innovative approaches.

Increase Your Job Opportunities
Since trade is global, multilingual applicants are in high demand in global companies. Having a developed set of languages increases your chances to get hired.
