Dear parents,
Over 40% of the pupils in the canton of Zurich do not speak
German at home. One of the goals of the public school is
that the children and adolescents know enough German to
be able to follow the regular lessons. If needed, the school
supports the pupils by giving them lessons in German as a
second language (“Deutsch als Zweitsprache”, DaZ).
Here is some information on how the school helps the
children and adolescents learn German as a second
language (GSL).

How does the school help children
learn German as a second language?
Kindergarten:
– GSL in kindergarten
Children that speak no German or only very little German
receive additional help from a qualified GSL teacher,
either in individual or group classes. The child receives
this support in at least two lessons a week. The GSL
lessons are integrated into the kindergarten classes.
Primary and secondary school:
– Basic GSL lessons
Children and adolescents that move to the canton of
Zurich and do not speak any or just very little German
receive Basic GSL lessons (“DaZ-Anfangsunterricht”) at
school every day for one year, either in a group or in an
induction class (“Aufnahmeklasse”). The goal is to learn
basic German skills as soon as possible so that they can
participate in the lessons of a regular class.
– Advanced GSL lessons
Pupils that need to further improve their German receive
at least two Advanced GSL lessons (“DaZAufbauunterricht”) a week.
When a pupil needs support to learn German, the school
does the following:
– If a teacher or you as parents feel like your child needs
support, the class teacher invites you to a GSL orientation
(“DaZ-Standortgespräch”), where you and the involved
teachers discuss and agree on the support that your child
should receive. If you can not agree, the school board
decides.
– Then, the GSL teacher defines individual goals for each
child and helps them learn German.

The class teacher also helps the child learn German and
makes sure that, in class, the child receives work that is
appropriate for its level of German.
– The teachers discuss with you what you as parents can
do to support your child in learning German outside of
school.
What can the parents do?
– Show your child that your first language and the German
language are both valuable and important.
– You can promote a good linguistic development of your
child by having many conversations about different topics
with them. This should happen in the language that you
speak best – usually your first language.
– Encourage the contact with the German language. Your
child can learn a lot of German when it is with Germanspeaking children, on the playground, in playgroups, in
daycare, in a sports team, with the girl/boy scouts, etc.
– Regularly take your child to the library in your
neighbourhood or municipality and borrow children's
books, audio books, educational games, and audiovisual
media. Look at picture books with your child, read books
to your child, and make sure that it reads a lot on its own.
– Send your child to classes in native language and culture
(“Heimatliche Sprache und Kultur”, HSK, see further
information) if they are available in your first language.
This way, your child can also learn how to read and write
in its first language. Being bilingual can be an advantage.
– Make sure that your child can do its homework at regular
times and in a quiet place.
– Stay in regular contact with your child's teachers. Talk to
them about the language and learning situation and the
wellbeing of your child.
