Creative language summer camp with friLingue
Once again we invite you to participate in the summer edition of this camp, where immersion in languages passes through the prism of the practices of the arts, theatre, and video.
How does this camp, where language learning combines with the practice of the arts, theatre and video, work?
Take the time to exchange ideas, imagine and build an artistic project that organises the week’s schedule.
Help yourself to explore diverse cognitive fields (material culture, visual memory, mnemonic) to exercise curiosity and forge a culture of your own.
Imagination and creativity are not confined only to the classroom; they are open work languages through authentic materials and expressive and creative practices.
Navigate your way through the different stages of making a short film or staging a play.
Kick-start and develop a portfolio, know how to express your ideas in the target language to evolve an art project collectively.
There will also be a collaborative exhibition of the various productions (performances, films, paintings, photos etc.) from the week that will all be centred around the same theme.
We find that school education is based on a division into disciplines and often content that’s too theoretical is counterproductive for both learners and teachers. We believe that learning and remembering is about connecting, creating and making things work.
Associating practices of arts and languages allows us to connect knowledge and know-how, to make them resonate to feed a contextualised learning process.
Some examples:
We’ll make bound notebooks according to a procedure that’s explained and shown in the target language using different available materials, These notebooks will then serve as a basis for gathering linguistic knowledge acquired throughout the process.
We’ll also create an exhibition of paintings or silver prints inspired by a theme first studied in its linguistic aspect (themes such as "movement", "images", "monsters" etc.).
Those interested in video will make a short film of fiction that taps into the life of the camp, the funny moments and the specific situations. All this work (brainstorming, scriptwriting, dialogues, stage play, staging, editing) is obviously an opportunity to learn the language in action. The short film can then be used as a support for a multimedia language course rooted in practice. "Learning by doing" is our motto!
The language courses (English, French & German) and activities are transversal; they connect and answer each other. It is by multiplying the resonances within projects that are always based on the desires of students that we think to make them learn, to consolidate their learning and to teach them to understand.
At the Braunwald location, the school combines high-quality language instruction with the stunning natural backdrop of a car-free mountain village perched on a sunny terrace at 1,300 m above sea level. Braunwald’s scenic views of the Tödi range and its peaceful atmosphere make it an ideal setting for both study and outdoor exploration.

הכיתה הייתה קטנה וכך קיבלתי תמיכה אישית. מורי האנגלית לא היו דוברי אנגלית כשפת אם כפי שהובטח בעלון. אבל הם עשו כמיטב יכולתם. חלק מההערות שהשמיעו המורים בכיתה לא היו מתאימות לילדים, כמו למשל הערות על המחזור שלה. המיקום היה מדהים ומומלץ לכולם.
