Linguistic skills have a significant impact on school success and social participation.

The maintenance of the first language for second language acquisition and the educational success is particularly important. In daycare centers, children have the opportunity to learn German from native speakers. Education in the intercultural context also requires an attitude of the specialists, which shows respect and appreciation for the mother tongue of the children.

Challenges in practice

A increasing number of children with a migration background, especially from crisis areas, brings new challenges for educational specialists. Refugee children are often traumatized and often have little knowledge of German. The need for a language -friendly learning environment is clear. Specialists should regularly reflect on the learning processes and integrate an intercultural approach into education, such as nifbe.de.

Diversity in the daycare center is perceived as an opportunity, but also as a challenge. Materials in different languages ​​as well as dialogical approaches, such as picture book consideration, promote vocabulary and understanding. After all, the involvement of the parents is of great importance to strengthen the exchange and integration. These aspects are particularly discussed and discussed in the planned workshop.
