how many English classes per week?
|
|
Hi everybody! I �m a teacher of Esl in the Italian "scuola media" (students aged 11-13). I �d like to know how many English classes per week do you have in other countries all around the world. Here in Italy we just have three periods per week (33 weeks in a school year) and I think thery are really few. What do you think? Thanks a lot, Mariella |

In Turkey we have 3+1 periods for 10-11 year old children and 4+1 periods for 12-14 year old children.We have two terms and around 32-33 weeks in a school year.
In our country a teacher is supposed to have 15 periods per week to deserve a salary.If he or she has more , he or she gets extra money for each period.
A period is 40 minutes.

Hi. It depends of the school. Last year I had two times a week and it was a class of 90 minutes and other of 45 minutes. This year I have two times a week with 90 minutes.
There are schools where it can be three times: 90 minutes+45 minutes+45 minutes.

HI Mariella! here in Costa Rica it depends on the type of school you are working in.
Public = few English lessons about 4 lessons during a week ( 45 minutes each lesson)
Private= a lot more English- They have English classes divided in 4-5 subjects ( listening and speaking (4 lessons per week), reading and writing ( 4 lessons per week) grammar ( 3 lessons per week) , spelling ( 1 lesson per week) and science( 2 lesson per week) |

Here in Spain in state High schools, they usually have three lessons a week, except when they are in a bilingual group; in that case they have four and also students who are 14-15, who also have four hours a week. From my point of view it is not enough although our lessons last 55 minutes.

Here in Quebec, Canada it �s quite pathetic--60 mins/week for cycle one (1-2) and two (3-4) and 90 mins for cycle three (5-6). However, it might be more depending on the school staff �s decision. We also have intense english which is five months academic and five months of total immersion for grade six students. I �m quite surprised that most of you have a lot more. I actually envy you. |

I teach students aged 9-14 (grades 4-8) in a primary school in Hungary. They all have 3 (45-minute-long) lessons a week. But there are 2 groups in grades 7 and 8 (the �stronger ss � are here) which have +2 extra lessons a week. It �s our special local offer. :-)

Hello Mariella,
In France we have : from 7 to 10 = 2X 3/4h per week
At 11, 4h a week
from 12 to 15, 3h a week.
I think that it is almost the same in all the countries of the European Union.
