Serbia First Grade Curriculum - English Language

English language instruction begins in first grade in Serbia, typically with two hours of instruction per week. Students are introduced to basic vocabulary and simple sentence structures. While the specific curriculum and textbooks used may vary, the focus is on building a foundational understanding of the English language. English is usually the first foreign language Serbian students learn, with a second foreign language introduced in the fifth grade.

More broadly, the Serbian first-grade curriculum includes subjects like Serbian language, mathematics, and "The World Around Us" (Svet oko nas), which covers basic science and social studies concepts. The first four years of primary school are considered the first cycle, where students typically have one main teacher. Children typically begin first grade between the ages of 6.5 and 7.5.
