How can international schools meaningfully support students in maintaining, valuing, and developing their home or identity languages? This open working‑group session invites all educators involved in Home Language / Mother Tongue / Identity Language Learning to connect, share, and build together.
In this workshop, participants will:
- Exchange best practices and resources for identity‑affirming language learning
- Explore approaches to integrating home language development into PYP and MYP pathways, featuring presentations from BBIS and FIS about their curriculum
- Discuss the role of AI in supporting multilingual literacy and how emerging tools can enhance identity‑language programs
