Spotlight on Matura

Editors: Luc Fivaz (HEP VD) & Verónica Sánchez Abchi (IRDP)

Upper secondary school reforms are well underway and have a profound impact on teaching. A new curriculum has recently been introduced, with individual cantons defining how and to what extent they want to apply this new curriculum.

What are the implications of this reform for the teaching of languages - first, second, foreign, ancient and modern? What role do languages play in the new curriculum? Which languages are affected and what are the challenges of this reform? What impact will this reform have on language teachers?

This section of Babylonia is intended as a forum for exchange and reflection, open to all concerned: teachers, researchers, head teachers, students, cantonal officials and experts.

We invite you to share your experiences and analyses in various forms: interviews, testimonies, critical reflections, feedback, etc., to help shed light on the implementation of the new cantonal curricula. Make your voice heard and contribute to a better understanding of these developments!
