Czech term or phrase: druhý stupeň ZŠ
Máte někdo zkušenosti s překladem tohoto v Česku velmi zažitého a hojně používaného termínu? Jen upřesňuji, že se jedná se o 6.-9. třídu českých základních škol. Na termín se mě zeptala kamarádka studující pedagogickou fakultu univerzity a já se nechtěl zmýlit. Laicky bych jí samozřejmě něco poradil, ale zkouším najít nejvhodnější anglický termín. Samotného by mě to zajímalo, tak se ptám. Pro informaci, termín bude použit v anglickém překladu abstraktu diplomové práce.

agree  Lenka Mandryszová: Souhlasím, protože se hledá termín používaný v českém prostředí - nehledě na to, že je akceptovaný MŠMT - tedy terminus technicus pro diplomku

  -> thx
agree  Zuzka Benesova: ano, případně upper primary/lower secondary - pokud by se jednalo například i o nižší ročníky víceletých gymnázií, které věkově odpovídají 2. stupni ZŠ

junior high school


Explanation:
V USA do takové školy chodí děti mezi 12 a 15 lety, pokud se nepletu.

Ale pro jistotu bych stejně volila middle school, jak navrhla Elizabeth.
