Guest Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Can someone please explain this statement in easy understandable terms! I'm so fed up with this course! Understand 1st part about resources available in the community..libraries, speech therapists, parents etc., but can't get my head around .2nd part...'how to use them including in the context of the promotion of a community language'????? My thoughts are running on- children with more than 1 language being respected by including books showing their home language....these books could be borrowed from the local library???...any help would be fantastic please,
Guest Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Pushed for time at the mo. Sounds like you're on the right lines, but don't forget people are a resource! So if a parent speaks a community language, they could possibly interpret if confidentiality isn't an issue, provide dual language labels or examples of script, read dual language books while staff read the English, provide insight into culture, etc etc
