International links in practice

Wednesday, May 29, 2002

Ten ways to bring an international dimension to your work with young children: 1 .Ask families to bring back items of interest from holidays abroad. A small display of French picture books or the opportunity to dance to Egyptian pop music will fascinate many children. 2 .Encourage parents and carers who speak a language other than English to use their home language in your setting - for example, to tell a story or teach the children a song.
