Supporting your Child
We understand that supporting your child's English learning at home might seem daunting, especially if English isn't your primary language. However, there are numerous approaches that can significantly aid your child's progress, regardless of your own language proficiency. Your involvement is key.
How can I support my child?
Firstly, establishing a weekly routine for homework can greatly benefit your child. Creating a dedicated time and space for homework helps in consistency and fosters a sense of responsibility towards their learning.
Additionally, engaging with the materials provided by your child's English teacher is crucial. Encourage your child to listen to the songs and videos sent by their teacher on a weekly basis. Watching and listening together can make the learning experience enjoyable and interactive.
Families can also learn together! Engage in day-to-day conversations in English, challenging your child to express themselves and asking questions. Allocating a specific day for watching English television programmes or movies as a family can further immerse everyone in the language.

Lastly, as parents, remember that you are role models for your children. Don't hesitate to speak English, even if it's not perfect. Embrace your efforts in the language of Shakespeare, and actively demonstrate that learning is a continuous journey for everyone.
