Pre-K Language Instruction Is an Industry So Let’s Get Ready to Compete!

Our Students Are Dual-Language Learners So Let’s Support Both Languages!

Parental and Community Engagement Is a Must So Let’s Create Bridges!

This is one of those moments when we need to think creatively. Ana: I have planned my system so that the parents are active participants in their children’s language education. That way, the learning continues at home, where there are more opportunities for one-on-one playful and spontaneous interactions between the parent and the child.

[object Object],My approach is to coach the classroom teacher so that she or he can facilitate further language explorations by the children, for example, by incorporating props related to thematic units in the arts, blocks, science, and other classroom centers.

[object Object],For this to work optimally, the language teacher would keep a close collaboration with the classroom teacher. Karen’s book is Many Languages: One Classroom

[object Object],Another idea would be to have volunteer bilingual parents or other members of the community (e.g. high school AP students) participate in the language class and/or in the regular class and support the new language by reading, singing, playing and conversing with the children.

We would like to finish our presentation with a game – Play is how children learn! So let’s play! [Click here to see image from Play and Learn French game]
