“...If you have additional language abilities and would be willing to help us....�
Happy Friday everyone! As part of our efforts to rebrand the school with a new logo and website, we have also reworked the school brochure. One of the areas in the brochure that we are highlighting is how we will be implementing an improved language program next year to ensure that our students develop stronger literacy skills in both English and a second language.
The goal of this program is to ensure that students receive 45 minutes of language instruction everyday in a language other than English so that students improve their fluency, but also develop strong literacy skills that allow them to pursue extended learning opportunities or easily enter a university in the home country or re-integrate into their home country’s education system. Over the next few years, our intent is to dramatically increase the number of language offerings at the school.
Be our Rossetta Stone!
In order to promote this program we are translating the school brochure into: Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Polish and Turkish. We would like to translate the brochure (approximately 800 words) into languages beyond the ones I have just mentioned. If you have additional language abilities and would be willing to help us do some translation of school materials into additional languages, we would really appreciate your help. If you are interested in assisting, please email me directly (neal.dilk@aisr.nl). Thank you and have a great weekend! Neal Dilk Director neal.dilk@aisr.nl
