Language Acquisition

This week the Language Acquisition post will look at how to support students after the lesson.

Provide non native speakers with summary notes of the main points of the lesson.

“When the sword becomes words” – Students of many nations sing for peace (C&S Activity) – G5-12

Like singing? Like trying to sing? In conjunction with schools around the world and the Middle school next to NIS, NIS students have the opportunity to collaborate in singing “One Day” by Matisyahu. This will be videoed and compiled with other schools into a video clip. NIS students will sing in conjunction with our friends in the Chinese school next door. We plan on meeting on Tue 31 March to practice and then on April 2nd to video. If interested please register on C&S / CAS signup link on Veracross. You can email me or Ms Bonnie for more information.

Pfrang Trip April 19th and 20th – C&S / CAS (G8-11)

Still some places left in the Pfrang Association trip to Northern Jiangsu Province on April 19th and 20th. The trip will be an opportunity for you to understand more about life in the Chinese countryside and for you to meet some of the students that Pfrang sponsors. Please email me for details. It will also be an opportunity for you to think more about how NIS can interact with the Pfrang students.
