S59: Mrs. Kuldeep Matharu & Mrs. Deborah Perrin - Supporting multilingualism at school and at home

When our children attend school in an additional language, we want them to have the best support to quickly attain the required proficiency in the school language. Often times, the home languages shift into the background. Research shows that welcoming home languages at school, has a positive effect on the children's academic performance. What can teachers do to support children learn the school language as additional language and foster also the home language at school? What are practices that allow teachers to efficiently teach the subjects whilst also allowing children to use their other languages? What can parents expect from EAL teachers* and how long should children get their support?
