Mother+Tongue+Programme

Part of my role this year has been to set up a Mother Tongue Programme at Qatar Academy to cater for children who have a Mother Tongue Language which is not English or Arabic. The first step was to survey the students [|Parent Mother Tongue Survey.docx] and create a language data base.

During the parent information session we shared this information and also introduced parents to the Mother Tongue wiki page which I set up, through which they can volunteer to help with the programme. media type="custom" key="9380498" width="70" height="70"

As part of the programme I worked with some grade 5 students to help them translate and record the school newsletter in different languages. http://www.qataracademy.wikispaces.net/primaryschoolakhbar
