In the MT service group we have been working on two different projects, one with the entire group, and one with just the leaders. With the group we have been visiting the primary school for their poetry units. Each member of the MT group brought a poem in their language with an english translation and was assigned to a group of grade 4 students. Within that group we taught and analysed the different languages. Doing this with the primary students sparked an interest within them for the different mother tongue languages we offered and definitely increased language use amongst the primary school. This fit into our main goal by being able to spread our knowledge of language amongst our community.
The second project myself and the other MT leader have been working on is a new addition to the school. This will be a sign/banner for the main school entrance. On this banner there will be written in all languages of the nationalities in our school, welcome. The banner will include colors and diversity and will contribute to making our school seem more inviting hopefully.
We are currently still designing the content and finding the list of all nationalities as well as brainstorming possible solutions to if new nationalities join after the sign is already up. We have gotten permission from the Head of School, and even an offer from him to fund it.
