Multilingualism and intercultural
Let's expose our learners to songs from around the globe that represent the foreign teachers in BKIK, played during arrival.
Encourage parents to volunteer at school for a story or reading time with stories and games from around the globe such as during the transdisciplinary unit Where We Are In Place and Time. Baking experience with foreign parents during the festive week. Parents volunteers to bake international cakes or food, play games and dress up in traditional costumes during International Day week.
BKIK will then hold a week of inquiry and learning engagement on the country each class represents. A whole lot of knowledge we can learn from our students from their curiosity of the representing country. A week to teach a new language and learn to have simple interactions.
Our learner could explore with a mock passport, travelling from one country to the next just by walking, about the culture, attire, language, games and food.
Global Engagement
As a global engagement, BKIK could engage with overseas IB kindergarten for Show and Tell. By exposing our learners to other nationalities with their culture, traditions and language, we generate interest or perhaps enthusiasm in our learners to discover and learn more about the language.
My role in all these is definitely as a teacher-researcher, where my strength is because of interest. I discovered this while I wrote my dissertation during my undergraduate days.
