Students in Years 2–5 of the Russian Programme at the ENS Karamyshevskaya, ENS Mosfilm, and ENS Onegino campuses successfully completed their first-term assessment papers.
Tasks of varying difficulty in Russian Language, Mathematics, Literary Reading, and The World Around Us aligned with Russian national education standards. The assessments measured not only subject knowledge, but also the development of core learning skills.
The ENS Methodological Team analysed the number and types of interference errors—an expected part of language development for bilingual children. It is clear that students who begin preparing for Russian school from the age of 5 (or earlier) make language-interference errors far less frequently. This is supported by our approach to teaching Russian within a bilingual education setting and by developing children’s conscious ability to differentiate between languages.
Sincere thanks to all teachers of the ENS Russian Programme!
