SUMMARY
LEARNING BY LANGUAGES
Learning by Languages is a method, a curriculum and a system of opportunities for the creative and innovative education of children from birth to ten years, aiming at valorising each child’s differences, as well as the role of family and local culture. This is achieved by spurring the development of self-awareness, different expressive languages and competencies.
Learning by Languages was founded in Reggio Emilia and combines some of the most advanced educational approaches in the world – the Montessori method, socio-constructivism and the Reggio Emilia Approach – with pedagogical practice, field experience and management processes.
Our mission is to spread quality education practices in Early Childhood.
The method covers all areas in which it is possible to support children’s learning processes: educational and pedagogical values, theories supporting educational choices, the design of spaces and educational contexts, the atelier, the languages of food, the participation of families and communities, and the individualisation of learning paths for children with special rights.
Learning by Languages offers numerous tools to support operators in implementing the method: management and pedagogical guidelines, standards, monitoring and evaluation tools.
Our method is flexible to be best adapted to the socio-cultural peculiarities of the client-country.
1.1_ PEDAGOGICAL CURRICULUM KEY PILLARS
1) The Development of Creative and Divergent thinking
According to the most advanced and renowned philosophical, psychological and educational approaches (the Reggio Emilia Approach, the Montessori Method, socio-constructivism) and researchers (Howard Gardner, Jerome Bruner, Lev Vygotskij), children have hundreds of languages and learning approaches. The atelier and the expressive activities promoted by the Learning by Languages Method encourage this development of creativity along with the many forms of intelligence that behold children. The atelierista plays a strategic role within the Learning by Languages Method by supporting teachers with their distinctive skills in the arts and in contemporary expressive techniques.
2) Technological and multimedia innovation
Learning by Languages, consistent with the most innovative research on the role of technologies in teaching, offers digital and multimedia devices that children can use in a simple and intuitive way in everyday life for both experiments and creative use. The tools, such as videos and overhead projectors, tablets, interactive learning environments, and boards all constitute a digital learning environment that increases explorative opportunities.
3) Promotion of the international dialogue
Our services promote dialogue and international exchange, welcoming children, families and practitioners from all over the world. We build those expressive and linguistic skills that will enable children to become citizens of the world. For this reason, the daily activities are run in multiple languages. Children learn English through play and creative activities, following their own interests.
