Slovenia 5th Grade Curriculum - Foreign Language (English, Italian, or Hungarian)

Foreign language education is a compulsory subject in Slovenian primary schools. Students typically begin learning their first foreign language in the 4th grade. The most common first foreign language is English, followed by German. Italian and Hungarian are also offered as foreign languages, particularly in ethnically mixed areas. Students may also have the option to learn a second foreign language as an elective from 4th grade onwards.

In the 5th grade, students continue their foreign language education, building upon the foundation established in the previous year. The curriculum emphasizes communication skills, cultural understanding, and connections to other subjects. While the specific curriculum details for 5th grade were not available, the overall aim of foreign language education in Slovenia is to equip students with the necessary language skills for future academic and professional pursuits.
