Mother Tongue Portuguese KG-G5 KG-G2 Portuguese Mother Tongue students will have special visitors very soon. This term, the central idea of our unit is ‘Awareness of our culture, its characteristics, abilities and interests inform our learning development.’ Some of our grandparents and/or relatives from Brazil and Portugal will come to our classroom to tell us traditional tales. We are looking forward to meeting them face-toface or, perhaps even online!

Mother Tongue Welcome Evening Once again we see lots of new faces at ISL London from all over the world! At the MT presentation and social evening, last Thursday 14th September, 23 MT teachers, with their usual great enthusiasm, were eager to greet the new parents. They addressed the parents in their own mother tongue, showcasing just how many wonderful languages we teach as Mother Tongue at ISL London. Though not all, still a good number of interested and very likely, somewhat anxious parents, were ready to learn more about our programme. It’s a programme that will not only teach students the academic language of their Mother Tongues, giving them future options, but it will also definitely help parents and their children to maintain a close connection with and passion for their native cultures and countries. Because this is what the ISL London MT programme sets out to do: maintain & improve knowledge and skills of your language, culture, traditions wherever you are from.
