Thank you to all who attended our free monthly gathering in #TheNest last Thursday. Our discussion with Zack E. and Jonathan Condo around multilingualism was insightful. Here are a couple of ideas that stayed with us:⭐ The role of 'Head of Multilingualism' is truly pivotal, recognizing the significance of #languageacquisition in today's diverse world. ⭐ The power of stories in the lives of #thirdculturekids, navigating the intricacies of #EAL (English as an Additional Language). ⭐ Language isn't just a tool for communication; it's a gateway to identity. ⭐ Every teacher, regardless of specialization, becomes an EAL teacher in international schools, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to #languagelearning. ⭐ The challenge lies in bridging the gap between home and school languages, empowering parents with knowledge and fostering an inclusive environment where every language is celebrated. To support our community and enhance #positivetransitionscare, we must embrace the #diversity of languages, recognizing that learning a language is not a learning difference but a journey of cultural enrichment. You can watch the recording from May 2 AND sign up for the Nest on Thursday, June 6 at 12 PM UTC here: https://lnkd.in/gdeAn8M Please note: SPAN members are able to view all seasons of The Nest.
