Completion of the elective course: “Language Sensitive Education Addressing the Needs of Children with Migration Background”
Between November 2020 and February 2021, students of the Institute of Applied Linguistics at AMU mastered the skills of preparing materials for classes including children with migration background, especially those whose fluency in the Polish language is lower than C1. The course covered the following topics: teaching Polish as the second language in classes not devoted to teaching languages, introduction to intercultural background characterizing contemporary Polish schools, familiarisation with the principles of teaching history in general and in preparatory classes as well as a workshop on drawing for teaching purposes. During the practical phase, the students developed their own materials for teaching history in grades 7 and 8 of elementary school. These materials will be handed over to history teachers for pilot testing.
The course was conducted by prof. Sylwia Adamczak-Krysztofowicz and prof. Szczepaniak-Kozak of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań in cooperation with methodological experts from the Teacher Training Centre in Poznań: dr Izabela Czerniejewska, Julia Karczewska, Iwona Wysocka, and Andrzej Surdyk. This elective is one of the first activities carried out in the MaMLiSE project. The course will continue in the summer term.

Congratulations to the students on great drawings!
