Parents can help children to acquire and develop English language while using native language in their own family. There are some special times when it is possible.
*cooking time;
*on the way to school;
*bath time;
*in the park;
*doing homework;
*play time;
*library activity;
Family can keep a very consistent and simple vocabulary, using gestures, facial expressions, body language, cards and label around the house. While you play, the children are encouraged to attempt to communicate between languages. Teach children some games that they can share with pals.
In the school, the staff are willing to learn greetings, rhymes and some sentences. Give the necessary support and prepare some posters to promote learning and knowledge. Children are delighted to be part of the school life. The involvement in parties and celebrations are good opportunities to be active.
In the schools, where there is a large community of EAL pupils, a parent volunteer can be the interpreter of the month in parents' meetings and promote the language of the month.
