Today, we were thrilled to welcome Ms. Eowyn Crisfield, a specialist in bilingual and additional languages in schools, to ISM for a session with parents on the subject of supporting bilingual/multilingual learners at home, followed by training with our senior educational leadership team.
An accredited educational consultant based in Oxford and the author of ‘Bilingual Families: A Practical Language Planning Guide’ (2021), Ms Crisfield works with schools internationally and is also a senior lecturer in TESOL at Oxford Brookes University.
During her parent session, Ms. Crisfield discussed a number of important aspects of bilingual and multilingual learning and how parents can provide the best support for their children in both their home language and at school.We look forward to Ms. Crisfield’s continued visit to ISM tomorrow when she will visit lessons around the school.
