What is the role of multilingualism in international education? How can teachers best support language and literacy acquisition in English and other languages? Five experts share views and strategies (sponsored by ISN partner, DK Learning)
Five ISN members from different schools and contexts tackle the topic of multilingualism and offer practical and actionable strategies around language and literacy acquisition and foreign language learning in an international school setting.
We were joined by Himani Sood (MYP teacher at the British International School Budapest), Adam Beeson (DP and MYP teacher and DEIB coordinator at the Pan-American School, Costa Rica), Jacob Huckle (head of English language acquisition at Dulwich College, Suzhou, China), François Stalder (world language teacher at the American International School Budapest) and Sarah Forbes (product manager at DK Learning).
The discussion touches on topics such as:
- The importance of language learning at school;
- Strategies for effective language acquisition;
- How foreign language learning gives students transferrable skills that are applicable to other subjects;
- The importance of representation;
- How to bring the local culture into the language classroom;
