MYIS Language Learner Goal for 2020/21:

Teachers can apply their understanding of language to scaffold and differentiate learning engagements to meet the individual needs of their learners.

In order to do this we will be focusing on:

  • Up-skilling all MYIS teachers in EAL strategies and approaches.

  • Reviewing and applying the MYIS home language policy.

  • Focusing on how we are actively supporting home language at MYIS.

  • Educating the MYIS parent community on the collaborative importance of language learning in the classroom and at home.
