CIS specialises in educating children to speak more than one language in Singapore
Raising a child in Singapore comes with so many questions and there are even more when they’re asked in multiple languages! Living in a very multicultural society, and sometimes with parents of mixed heritage, means the benefits of multilingualism among kids in Singapore is a hot topic. But it can be tricky deciding what language to speak at home and which additional languages, if any, should be pursued at school.
Need some help with working out how best to raise a child that speaks more than one language in Singapore? Get answers at the Canadian International School (CIS) Seminar: ‘Chinese and Multilingualism: Equipping Your Child For Success‘.
Addressing queries like, ‘will speaking more than one language among family get them all mixed up?’ and ‘does taking on another language add too much pressure at school?’, this brilliant seminar helps parents to help kids the art of conversation in multiple languages in Singapore without getting lost in translation!
All of your questions will be answered by two leading pioneers in the field, Helena Curtain (a founder of Advocates of Language Learning) and Huali Xiong (author of bestseller, Big Apple Chinese Programme and Head of Chinese at CIS).
Both women are masters in designing language immersion education curriculums, with their techniques and strategies being adopted by leading schools worldwide. Their presentation will dispel the myths surrounding multilingualism and the many benefits (including enhanced cognitive skills, improved communication and even better employment opportunities), and provide concrete tools that parents can use at home to support multilingual kids.
Don’t miss this important event, taking place at 7pm on the 27 November, 2014, in the Hilton Hotel Ballroom (Level 3). Register here to attend! Admission is free!
