In many children's groups / kindergartens, children with several first languages or with a mother tongue other than German have become the norm. This linguistically diverse situation can be challenging for the carers, especially when the children need more intensive linguistic support. In order for all children to start school successfully, targeted support is often necessary. But dealing with parents is not always easy either.
The course offers knowledge and specific didactic competence in order to promote multilingual children linguistically and to advise and support their parents correctly.
In addition, there is sufficient space for the exchange of experiences, questions and the joint search for answers to specific situations and case studies from practice.
