The school is a place for all children – including those speaking in other languages, coming from foreign cultures, returning from migration, coming to Poland for various reasons and with different baggage of experience. The school is also the best environment for supporting the integration of foreigners into Polish society. But how would a teacher and educator meet these challenges?
During the training, we will discuss methods of working with a group that is linguistically and culturally diverse, with an emphasis on practice and the educational opportunities created by language diversity at school. We will also analyze group processes in a multicultural and multilingual classroom – we will consider how to support the integration of foreign children, strengthen their motivation to learn, as well as how to shape an attitude of openness to diversity among children from Poland.
Through this workshop, we want to support teachers in gaining specific knowledge on supporting the language development of children who speak more than one language, provide methodological tips and suggestions on how to improve their integration in the school environment.
The workshop will take place in a small group of 15 people. We particularly invite teachers, tutors, school pedagogues and school heads who face the challenges of working with foreign students. Participants will receive a certificate confirming participation in the workshop.
