For this month’s ES Parent Engage we are excited to offer a PK-12 parent learning opportunity:
Unlocking the World with a Family Language Plan
On February 1, 2018, from 7:45 to 9:15 a.m. in MPB 1, we will offer a workshop for parents from all divisions (ES, MS, HS) about maintaining students’ native languages while they also study in English at ISB. This will be an extended version of the Raising Multilinguals workshop offered in the Elementary School in past years.
At this workshop faculty will:
- Present reasons to maintain native language, based on research
- Describe native language classes and resources available at ISB
- Discuss the importance of making a family language plan
Faculty will also lead small group discussions of how to nurture particular languages, how to support native language development at home, and how to make a language plan work.
Please join us! Parents of students in PK through Grade 12 are welcome. For further information, please write to nativelanguage@isb.ac.th.
