French Mother Tongue Support - For native French-speaking children attending a Local, ESF or an International School *

For native French-speaking children who can understand and/or speak some of the language, with at least one native French-speaking parent, and who follow the local, ESF or international school system (other than French).

According to his/her age and level, your child will:

• increase his/her listening comprehension and oral communication skills, including proper pronunciation;
• develop his/her reading and spelling skills;
• acquire an interest in French culture.

The main emphasis is on helping your child become truly bilingual and maintaining contact with his/her cultural heritage.

Note: these courses are in line with IB philosophy regarding mother tongue support for children schooled in a language other that their mother tongue.

For families living in Discovery Bay or Lantau, please see "Les Petits Lascars de DB", a FLAM accredited project which offers after-school French classes for native French speaking children schooled at Discovery College, Discovery Bay International School or Lantau International School.
