Thematic Approach

A bilingual thematic approach to teaching and learning

What is a thematic approach?

This is a way of teaching and learning, whereby many areas of the curriculum are connected together and integrated within a theme.

It allows learning to be more natural and less fragmented. It allows literacy to grow progressively, with vocabulary linked and with spelling and sentence writing. It guides connected ideas to follow on easily, yet reinforced.

The result of working the thematic approach way is that often children:

will have fun, will be more actively involved, will develop learning skills more quickly, as each one is connected to and reinforced by the other, will be more confident and better motivated, will present fewer discipline problems.

The result of working the thematic approach way is that often teachers: will find teaching more fun, will find teaching less hard work………but will still find teaching exhausting!
