The shade may seem light, but it is significant. We no longer speak of bilingualism but of multilingualism. In 2016, the variation of the academic project in Saint-Martin highlighted the creation of five bilingual classes; four years later, the same document goes further and now focuses on multilingualism.
“Improving the value of multilingualism” in the territory's schools is one of the seven work plans included in the D'Pass in its new version for the period 2020-2033. A working group * led by Evelyne Fleming was specifically formed to develop a strategy and actions to “design an educational course in languages from kindergarten to final year”.
He first took a photograph of the territory. This made it possible to draw up two main observations: "a relative discontinuity in the learning of languages in the course of pupils from first to second degree and a predominance of the teaching of English". However, this same survey revealed that four languages were used daily by students, namely French, English, Creole and Spanish, which are used more and more frequently. It is therefore suggested that this language be further integrated into school courses (as English has been) by creating bilingual and bilingual classes.
Advancing foreign language students requires in particular strengthening initial and continuing teacher training, providing BCDs and CDIs with plurilingual technical support, diversifying the linguistic offer, opening international sections in colleges and high schools promoting obtaining an international option baccalaureate, etc.
It is also proposed the creation of a Languages passport which would record the linguistic path of the pupil from kindergarten to the final year, the experimentation of a specific plurilingual curriculum in college with the teaching of non-linguistic disciplines. in two or even three languages.
"Language learning should no longer be used exclusively for mastering them but more broadly for mastering learning", conceives National Education.
* It is made up of Marie-Joselyne Arnell, generalist educational advisor 1st degree, Katiuscia Hyman, animator of bilingual 1st degree classes, Leila Nazzal, Spanish teacher at the college in Saint-Barth, Anthony Gombis, English teacher at Mont college des Accords, Cédric Lesuperbe, Creole teacher at the Robert Weinum high school and Emmanuel Pené, coordinator of Casnav.
