Very proud of @bechara_juliana and Bhauna Bardolia for their high quality work in leading this #multilingual course. Their learning impact for our #ISH teachers has been huge. #DML

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

In their most recent unit, Journeys, Y2 students at #ISH sorted different modes of transport into groups of their choosing.Using one of their suggestions we created a #multilingual display. Of course here in The NL bikes featured often! Celebrating #all languages & bikes matter!

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

Providing #EAL learners the time and space to explain their #homelanguage, asking the right questions, noticing and highlighting patterns, enables us to tap into their knowledge and understanding of how their language works, make connections explore meaning and learn together.

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

The progress a new English student can make in his writing in 6 months time is incredible. Having access to #homelanguage to keep up w/school #concepts & to explicit English lessons from his class teacher Amy Cowings & the @ISH_EAL team make new lang. learning a huge success!

[Juliana Bechara @bechara_juliana]

That was a great start at the #MLIEWEEK! I am sure it will be a #multilingual week full of learning, sharing and exchanging ideas and practices. Let #ECISchools inspire you too! A special thanks to @m_mccracken11 , Bhauna Bardolia and @ISH_EAL for this opportunity!

Back to teaching and learning on #Seesaw at #ISH #Y2. How to engage #EAL students in learning #Maths vocabulary? Using #art and #home languages

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

#AllLanguagesMatter at the ISH. In #IPC Y2 learned the characteristics of different types of stories. Myths answer important questions about the world. #Multilingual students asked their own questions in their #Home Languages. This tied in with learning vocabulary for questions.

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

The Guess Who game is a fun way to practise describing people with #ell students! It is also great for question formation and thinking of adjectives in their #homelanguages. And we, #eal teachers, love it because at #ish #alllanguagesmatter!

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

Remote learning is going full steam ahead at #ISH!! Our #eal children are showing us how creative, resilient and knowledgeable they are!!!! And one thing that touches us the most is that they keep using all their #homelanguages through #translanguaging!!

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

Say it! Draw it! Programme it! Y2 students add code to their language repertoires #edtech #ISH_EAL #IPC From A to B #homelanguages

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

Our #EAL students’ prior knowledge in their #homelanguages really makes a difference when working on new #IPC vocabulary! We are currently exploring and consolidating our knowledge on the properties of materials in #science. @ISH_EAL #multilingualism

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

Wishing you a warm and happy holiday from our #multilingual language acquisition team at The ISH.
Happy 2020 to you all!

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

How can you integrate #IPC Technology, #Writing and Winter celebrations in one activity? Y2 #EAL students read and followed instructions to make their own star decoration to hang on a pine branch. They found the labelled diagrams a big help, pictures speak louder than words.

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

When you ask #parents to do the same in their #home languages what our #students do every day! Looking forward to adding more to our @The_IPC sign @ishthehaguenl!🤩#alllanguagesmatter #surprise #EAL #ELL

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

Y2 Russian speaking students collaborating to write and spell words in their #Homelanguage #translanguaging working on #IPC unit Stories People Tell, what makes a hero, also linked to our school community profile - be caring and risk takers. #studentledmultilingualism

[EAL @ISH_EAL]

We take learning and our #multilingual BRAIN 🧠 very serious @ishthehaguenl. Can you guess which @The_IPC unit we are studying? Fantastic opportunity for our students created by our #IPC leader Rick Zevenbergen!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Educator @DenHaagEAL]

Decided to let Year 2 make their own #multilingual door sign #alllanguagesmatter #EAL #HomeLanguage

[Kuldeep Matharu @kgrootlandeweer]

Lovely ideas from @ISH_EAL , we can embed our #wellbeing of students further by being inclusive of their #homelanguages as we explore our brain plasticity. Let's get into that stretch zone @RhiannonPhill77 @EALdeborah @BSNJSL

[JJ @EALteachers]

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful #parents out there! 💐🌺 A #multilingual ELL told me that if he is talking to his Mum normally he uses the #Dutch ‘Mamma’ but if he wants something he uses the #Portuguese ‘Mãe’ 😆🤩 What do you call your Mum? #mothertongue #mothersday

An interactive professional development session led by @mikee68 and @PatriciaHubbers this afternoon @ishthehaguenl!
