The Added Value of Language and Culture
2018-07-05 17:30 - 20:30 | Resource for London, 356 Holloway Road, London, N7 6PA, United Kingdom
The NRCSE are happy to host a networking event exploring the theme: The added value of language and culture which is supplementary education.
This will be an interactive evening examining the value and potential of using language and culture as a gateway to educational achievement and well being. For all students who have English as an additional language or who have a cultural background that goes beyond England: use that rich and varied cultural background to access core curriculum subjects.
Language and culture play an important role in promoting identity and self-esteem. This in turn empowers the learners to feel confident in expressing their own ideas through their cultural matrix. As supplementary education providers you are in a key position to provide your students with the necessary tools for success.
With keynote speaker Ornette Clennon of Manchester Met University and MEAP (Making Education a Priority) and NRCSE trustee!
Learn how you can facilitate the process and be informed of the possibilities of using language and culture as an added resource.
The refreshments and sandwiches will be served during the event.
You can register yourself and your supplementary school’s staff and teachers here.

MiFamily Project - 3rd Transnational Meeting
2018-10-04 - 2018-10-05 | ICAR Foundation, 70 Unirii Boulevard, Bloc J5, Sector 3, Bucharest, 030836, Romania
Education systems can act as an important socialisation mechanism for migrants and host communities to foster mutual understanding, respect and trust. But many education systems struggle to provide the language training necessary for migrants to succeed in their new communities.
Many students with a migrant background are also blocked by language barrier. On average, 64% of first-generation migrant students and 41% of second generation students speak a language at home that is different from the language instruction.
Teachers have a large role to play. Many recognize that handling cultural diversity in class is difficult. Large proportions of teachers in several countries feel they need more professional development in the areas of teaching in a multicultural setting. Children in migrant families are key actors in the process of integration, as they broke communication between members of the host community and their own families. While teachers are critical to migrant students´ success in schools, so are their parents.
Students are better learners when their parents are involved in their education. While migrant parents often have high aspirations for their children, they may face multiple obstacles to becoming involved in their child´s schooling, including language barriers, insufficient understanding of how schools in the host country function, and lack of time or money to invest in their child´s education. They also feel alienated and unwelcome, especially if their child has encountered discrimination or abuse. Communities and schools that host migrants need to find ways to communicate with migrant parents who may have different levels of education, language skills and understanding of the school system.
An insufficiently explored approach to overcome the difficulties to involve migrant parents in the education of their children is the Family learning pedagogical approach. Family learning is any learning that includes more than one generation of a family (including extended families and carers). The learning may be informal, through events such as family fun days, or more formal – family learning courses are delivered in settings such as schools, children’s centres and community centres. Family learning is an effective way of providing adults with the skills and knowledge to support their children’s education. It also provides a non-threatening route into learning for adults. The courses aim to help parents support their children’s education – usually focusing on numeracy, literacy and/or language skills.
The aim of MIFAMILY project is to strength the integration of migrant students in Schools and their success in education by providing training, coaching and guidance to migrant parents on Family Learning methods and resources to overcome language barriers and foster active involvement of migrant parents in their children’s education, equipping teachers, school leaders and educators with the necessary skills and innovative tools to support migrant families in the process, strengthening collaboration between schools, families, and other external stakeholders.
To do so, 7 organizations supporting Schools and migrant families from 5 countries (France, Ireland, Romania, Spain and United Kingdom) will work together to lead the project and co-create and test innovative methods and freely accessible OER, including a Training Curriculum (IO1) an Online Platform of OER (IO2) and Guidelines and recommendations (IO3) on Family Learning for Migrants at School.
Teachers, school leaders and educators from organizations working with migrants are the main target users of the project products and final beneficiaries are migrant school pupils and parents. During the life time of the project, the partnership will directly involve 78 teachers, school leaders and educators (28 partners staff / 30 experts involved / 20 target users in pilots), 100 migrant school pupils and parents (in pilots) and 475 stakeholders. A wider audience, of a minimum of 1000 recipients, will be reached at local, regional, national and European level through the planned dissemination activities.
The project will use European frameworks and instruments, like EQF Europass and SchoolEducationGateaway, to boost transparency and recognition of learning outcomes on Family Learning for Migrants at School, with the active support of a network of key associated partners and relevant stakeholders. MIFAMILY will have a direct impact on target beneficiaries, improving the skills on national languages of both migrant children and parents and strengthening School integration and success in education of migrant students, and in the target users, improving the teaching competencies of teachers and educators in Family Learning methods. The long-term impact envisaged is a better integration of migrant students in the Schools and a higher collaboration between schools, families and other external stakeholders, strengthening the School system in Europe

The issues
Some of the issues to be discussed are detailed below. I will be attending to continue lobbying for a wider range of languages to be offered and for consideration to be made of working with supplementary schools on the provision of language taster session or even full language tuition programmes. I will also be reminding people of the wonderful work of the HoLA Project in Sheffield. Please get in touch with comments, suggestions, opinon that you think I should be feeding in.

Transition
Despite areas of country where there is systematisation of schemes of work, the teaching of joint modules, the use of secondary pupils as ‘ambassadors’, taster days, festivals and project work etc, disparities in perceptions remain between the achievement levels that primary teachers feel have been reached and those understood by secondary colleagues.
There is a particular challenge (common to Anglophone education systems) in achieving continuity whilst at the same time offering a diverse range of languages and choice to pupils. This means that pupils might not be able to continue the language they have started at primary school or will need to start again from the beginning. The APPG has heard evidence about the Hackney model for Spanish, which has overcome this issue. Other approaches to dealing with this issue include the “Discovering language” project and other “Knowledge about language” approaches which integrate principles of linguistics to the learning
EAL
Many teachers in Language Trends reports raise issues relating to pupils with EAL. Their comments highlight the difference between those who arrive in school with competence in another language in addition to English, and newly arrived children from other countries who still have very little English. Respondents reporting on the former say that the experience of learning a new language for pupils who already have another language and English is very positive and they excel, whereas for the latter group, the teaching of a new language as well as English can be distracting.
Patchy provision (time, continuity, regularity, not prioritised)
Many primary schools are not able to provide regular, consistent, high quality language teaching which will ensure that pupils joining secondary schools in Year 7 are proficient enough in another language to enable secondary teachers to build on four solid years of structured language teaching.
Language Trends 2018 reports “Around 80% of schools allocate on average between 30 minutes and up to one hour per week for language learning, although comments indicate that this is often irregular or eroded by other priorities” In comparison to others, English-speaking countries dedicate the least amount of time to foreign language learning and this is associated with low expectations about standards of achievement.
