UNITS In international tests of maths, science and reading, students in Finland do well. This is good news! But when you look more carefully at the schools, it's not easy to explain. Finnish students don't start schoo! until they are seven years old. The schoo! ay is short, about five hours, and there are ‘only three or four classes @ day. Students don't have much homework and there are no exams. So, why don't they do badly in tests? Perhaps something else can explain it. ‘There is another unusual feature of schools in Finland. For most of us, the school timetable isa lst of subjects, for example ICT, history, foreign languages, geography, with one Jesson following another. But some experts believe our brains work in a diferent way, They ‘say our brains don't divide our learning into subjects. Our brains learn better when they {get new information in context. This is why ‘Some Finnish schools don't teach subjects separately. Instead, they give students a project, such as 'the weather’, and then bring ‘school subjects into the project. ‘So how do some experts believe we leam most easily? Here's an example of a project with a class of 12-year-olds. Students watch 2 video re-enactment of the end of the city of Pompeii. Then on their laptops they compare ancient italy under the Romans with modern Finland. Groups look at different parts of the topic and then share their ideas. They also use 8-D printers to make a tiny Roman builcing. Later, they use the pieces of the building for a game. This project includes history, ICT, and design and technology.PRONUNGIATION — word patterns © D5 Listen and took at the word patterns in the table.
