In order to achieve the European Union’s objective of every citizen being able to communicate in three languages, more ideas have to be developed and implemented so that all children – those with non-German mother tongue and those with German mother tongue – are getting familiar with multilingualism as early as possible. The potential that is arising from the fact that many children in day-care institutions are fluent in more than one language is by far not being fully utilized yet. It is for that reason that when conceiving a project about education and multilingualism IPE chose the group of children aged 3 to 7 as its target group. Children aged 7 were involved in order to find opportunities for using the language portfolio also in the transition from elementary to primary education, thus motivating teachers to continue working with the european portfolio in primary school.
Many Kindergarten have already introduced portfolios, e.g. for documenting progress in the development and learning progress of children. Those experiences with portfolios can be utilized in order to introduce a language portfolio or to incorporate it with its core elements in the general portfolio, especially if the general portfolio already includes an area of learning „Communication“ and/or „Language“. The ELP for children aged 3 to 7 is being offered to day-care institutions in a slipcase containing material for children as well as the manual for educators.
Material for children.
Work sheets for children are being supplied as loose-leaf-collection so that they can be photocopied individually. They are intended especially for working on the language biography. Form and design of the dossier is left to educators and children in the individual institutions. Suggestions on that are to be found in the manual. As for the Language Passport, a CERF version adapted to the age group 3 to 7 is also offered.
Manual for educators
During the trial phase, educators very often expressed their wish not only to have material (for children) but to be given also a manual for educators in which ELP’s conception and objectives are explained and which includes helpful suggestions on how to work with the material, with parents and with primary schools.
