Kids in language partnerships learn and teach each other's language, backed and mentored by their parents. Learn more here.
Their match is based on the competences, wishes and ambitions of both sides, it is always a fair give-and-take deal between families who want more than language learning support. They want to dive into their partners' culture, lifestyle, national history, regional traditions and more. However, the language exchange is fundamental. Many families follow our recommendation to involve the kids' teachers, classes and schools from an early stage on. |
This language training gives kids a lot more than just a chance to practice!
It gives them good reasons why it's worth it. How? Hands-on experience lets them get fluent a lot faster. International connectivity at an early age makes them more open-minded towards other cultures, nationalities and ways of life. |
The advantages are powerful for both sides:
* This connection builds a powerful bridge between the language as spoken in daily life and the standards the curriculum aims for. * It gives kids the chance to share actively with their peers and let them participate. * Teachers can take the lead and initiate video chats, book exchanges, joint homework tasks and projects both in and beyond language lessons. * Very popular in all age groups is project work in music, geography and history lessons. |
Teachers who enjoy the lively cooperation with another school through a student's partnership create the greatest synergies!
