The Home Language Project
HLP manager Margie Owen-Smith discusses the problem of language disadvantage in multilingual schools. (Camera & Editing: Darlene Creamer)
This article has been supplied.
The Home-Language Project (HLP) is a non-profit, public benefit organisation set up by parents and their school governing bodies (of seven State schools) to address the problem of language disadvantage in multilingual schools which use English as their medium of instruction.
HLP's mission is to develop and disseminate multilingual techniques which allow second-language learners in a monolingual school system to use their own languages in support of the official medium of instruction, to develop bilingual skills and to affirm their cultural heritage through their use of language.
The project develops and tests multilingual strategies, techniques and materials and trains teachers to integrate these into their teaching. It also provides a teaching service (in both primary and secondary schools) to teach learners to read and write in their own languages (all nine official indigenous languages) in schools that are not offering their languages as subjects.
