6. Importance of Mother Tongue
• Part of the roots of
your children; cultural
identity
• Link to family, friends
and country
• Necessary for children
to reintegrate into their
home country, national
school or university
7. Role mother tongue plays in educational
development?
There are 4 steps according to Prof. Jim
Cummins, leading researcher in second
language acquisition, Ontario University
8. 1.Bilingual learners are the best learners !
• By learning two or more languages children gain
a greater understanding of how language works
• Knowledge and skills transfer across two
languages (review weekly learning targets)
• Develop greater flexibility in thinking skills across
subjects, due to processing of information
through 2 different languages.
9. 2. A strong supported mother tongue
does not hurt children learning English
• Parents worry that being bilingual will
hinder their child’s progress but these
fears are ungrounded.
• Sometimes they mix languages, but this
gets sorted out later.
10. 3.Developing literacy in your MT is an
efficient means of developing literacy in
second language
• accelerates the development of
reading ability in second language
• literacy in MT transfers into the
second language, even when writing
signs are different
• provides knowledge of the world and
helps with school
11. How parents can support?
Mother Tongue at home:
– Decide on a family language policy
– Reading (have a diverse library), videos,
games, friends…aim to be biliterate not
just bilingual
– Visit home country for extended
holidays
– Have lots of visitors from home!
– Support IPC in MT with research and
discussion
12. 4.Mother tongue is fragile and easily lost
in early years of school
• Children pick up ‘playground English’ really
quickly
BUT
• Children can lose their mother tongue as
quickly
• Extent and rapidity of language loss will vary
according to how much it is used
• Can lose within 2-3 years of starting school-
retain receptive skills but respond in English
to peers and parents
13. At school:
• Books for library; donation
• Come in and read story or teach
us some songs!
• Share your festivals
• Oral and written translations
• Language of the month
• Shell Educational Services may
offer an allowance enabling the
employment of MT teacher.
14. EAL at Panaga School
• Withdrawal and in-class support
• Survival language!
• Support with developing vocabulary linked to
other school subjects
• Speaking and listening skills
• Development of literacy skills (reading and
writing)
15. How can you help
your child at home
to develop their
English skills?
16. Helping with EAL at home.
• Have a family rule of when to speak
English (car, restaurant, shop, beach?)
• Radio, television, films, books, music and
family games.
• Label everyday objects in both languages
around home.
• Play dates – organize through parent
representatives.
17. Conclusion
Let’s work together to develop your
child’s language learning.
We need you to support your child’s
mother tongue and EAL!
