year. Bilingual instruction means that students learn the standard curriculum for a subject, but in two languages (at Steinm\u00fchle: English and German). The primary language of instruction is English, though key terminology is taught in both languages.<br \/>\nStudents have the opportunity to take Geography (Grade 7), History (Grades 8 and 9), and Politics and Economics (Grade 10) in English. In addition, students in the upper school can take Mathematics as a bilingual course.<br \/>\nEnglish is a means to an end; in other words, the focus is on communication, not necessarily on linguistic correctness. This allows students to use the foreign language in a relaxed manner.<br \/>\nAfter just a short time, it becomes apparent that the students have expanded their vocabulary and are able to use the foreign language flexibly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

Especially when it comes to proving oneself on an international level, it makes sense to take an internationally recognized exam that can provide more detailed information than a school grade. For these reasons, Steinm\u00fchle has been involved for many years in administering the DELF exam (Dipl\u00f4me d\u2019\u00c9tudes en Langue Fran\u00e7aise). This external French language exam\u2014administered by the \u201cInstitut fran\u00e7ais\u201d in Mainz\u2014certifies proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing at levels A1, A2, B1, and B2. For the participating students, the exam serves as a special source of motivation, as they are rewarded with the DELF diploma upon completion.    <\/p>\n<p>Students at the A1 and A2 levels (appropriate for grades 8 through 10) are prepared for the exam through their regular language classes. Students in the higher levels (B1 and B2) receive targeted preparation in small, individual groups alongside their regular classes. Registration for the exam usually takes place in November, and the exam itself is administered in February and March. The written exam is administered at the school, while the oral portion takes place in Giessen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-io9d1p-d127d920e35b0b8aae522bc2383c061f\">\n.av-layout-tab.av-io9d1p-d127d920e35b0b8aae522bc2383c061f{\nvertical-align:top;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av-tab-section-1-2' class='av-layout-tab av-io9d1p-d127d920e35b0b8aae522bc2383c061f av-animation-delay-container  avia-builder-el-68  el_after_av_tab_sub_section  el_before_av_tab_sub_section  ' data-av-deeplink-tabs=\"\" data-av-tab-section-content=\"2\" data-tab-section-id=\"dele\"><div class=\"av-layout-tab-inner\"><div class=\"container\"><div  class='flex_column av-iebrl9-51bd1d3224cf1a7b30249af3d8bdf2d9 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-69  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ibgkb9-e6488d0166803d3dcccb6157707f04d5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The DELE (Diploma de Espa\u00f1ol como Lengua Extranjera) exam is an internationally recognized language certificate and represents a valuable additional qualification for college, vocational training, and careers. The foundation for the DELE exam is laid at our school in 10th grade. In class, students are specifically prepared for the various sections of the exam\u2014reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written expression, and the oral exam. They practice typical question formats and reinforce key language skills.   <\/p>\n<p>Registration for the exam usually takes place in March, and the exam itself is held in April or May. The official exam is usually held in Frankfurt at the Instituto Cervantes. This is the globally recognized institution responsible for administering the DELE exams.
