Description:

As a multilingual school, we witness daily the great benefits of multilingualism, along with the evolving challenges that families face in nurturing and maintaining multiple languages at home. As children grow older, the need for consistent language support becomes even more critical, ensuring that the languages they’ve learned continue to thrive.

Whether you’re new to the school, or to this theme, or looking to strengthen your existing strategies, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and resources on how to create a multilingual environment that your child can benefit from. 

In this workshop, you will explore:

• The Power of Consistency: Understanding why sustained language exposure, practice, and reinforcement are essential as children grow older.
• Motivation and Identity: Strategies to keep children engaged and motivated in their multilingual journey.
• Supporting Multilingualism in Busy Lives: Practical approaches for integrating language learning into your family’s daily routine, even when life is busy.
• Research Perspectives on Multilingualism: The latest research and trends, including how families around the world are successfully maintaining multiple languages.
• Overcoming Challenges Together: Small group discussions to share experiences and challenges, and get tips and strategies for your family.
